Abstract: The article discusses the problem of insufficient use of the experience of the legislation of the Russian Empire by a modern Russian legislator in the sphere of public order protection by the provisions of administrative law. In this context the author analyzes the Charter of the penalties imposed by magistrates of 1864 and compares it with the current Code of Administrative Offences. The study identifies a number of norms of the Charter which should be used in relation to the existing administrative law. This applies to the inclusion in the Code of Administrative Offences of such compositions as a violation of order in public meetings, obscene actions, begging with insolence and rudeness, use of children for begging, and others. In this context the author states, inter alia, that the formula of disorderly conduct contained in Art. 20.1 of the Administrative Code is too general, outdated, and needs to be clarified. The author comes to the conclusion about the need for a better use of the legislative experience of the Russian Empire in the protection of public order by the provisions of administrative law.
