This article compares the criminal legislation of Russia and the Republic of Kazakhstan in terms of promoting terrorist and extremist activities. The methodological basis of the study is a comparative legal method used to compare the criminal law characteristics of the provisions providing for criminal liability for recruitment into terrorist and extremist organizations in the Russian Federation and in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The object of the study is public relations regulating responsibility for recruitment activities in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. A comparison of the legislations of the two countries makes it possible to identify the positive and negative aspects of the norms providing for responsibility for recruitment into extremist and terrorist organizations. Based on the results of the comparison, it is proposed to amend the current Russian legislation in order to improve the application of norms, including alternative actions of the subjective side, in practice. The changes will contribute to reducing the significant number of errors regularly made by the courts. With a complex presentation of the norm in the criminal law, the law enforcement officer often makes mistakes due to subjective interpretation. In this case, it is recommended to exclude the facts of a different understanding of one norm by each law enforcement officer by improving the norms of criminal law on the example of more successful use and application of criminal law by other countries, which will contribute to a significant improvement in the quality of decisions made by the courts following the decision.
