Abstract: The article is devoted to the questions of inclusion of Russia in the international fraud combating system. The recently adopted international treaties require that all participant states establish specialized bodies for corruption and fraud combating and prevention and impose criminal liability for all crimes of these types, recognized by these treaties. Taking into consideration that the subjects of fraud cross the state borders, the author supposes that it would be reasonable for Russia to join the international community in struggle against fraud; for this purpose it is necessary, particularly, to unify the terminology in the sphere of fraud. The author applies the set of general scientific and special methods of cognition. The methodology of the research is based on the dialectical method with its requirements for objectivity, comprehensiveness, historicism and clarity of truth. Among the general scientific methods the author applies the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and measurement. The comparative-legal method is used as a special scientific method. The author offers to define corruption fraud as a theft of somebody else’s property or acquisition of property right on somebody else’s property by deception or a breach of trust, committed by a person using his official position. The novelty of the research lies in the attempt to develop the proposal to revise the range of subjects of this type of crime, to consider the existing new practical forms of objective corruption frauds and to correlate them with the theory and practice of international law.
