In this paper, the authors attempt to trace the historical place of the norm on indirect causation in the general teaching on the corpus delicti in the works of domestic and foreign researchers of the late 18th – 20th centuries. The authors of the article draw attention to the fact that initially the norm on indirect causation begins to form in the works of representatives of the natural law school, and is then interpreted by representatives of the classical direction in criminal law. The phenomenon of indirect causation is initially associated with the opposition of two legal structures - direct and indirect causation of harm. It is on this platform that the concept of an indirect perpetrator is subsequently built - a person who attracts another person to commit a socially dangerous act, who, in turn, for various reasons cannot be brought to criminal responsibility himself. Such reasons mainly included the indelicacy of a person, misleading him, physical impact of a certain degree of intensity, etc. The theoretical figure of an indirect perpetrator was initially considered as a figure close in its legal content to the figure of an instigator. It was called as follows: a failed, unsuccessful, imaginary instigator. However, subsequently there appeared points of view, according to which an indirect perpetrator is closer in its legal content to the figure of a performer than to an instigator. In many ways, the emergence of this point of view was facilitated by the unanimous opinion on the need for liability of an indirect perpetrator himself, as a performer.
