Thus, under Article 361 of the Criminal Code, along with the establishment of the general object of crime, need to know that the person committing the abuse of power in commercial and other organizations, non-governmental bodies or local authorities, entails responsibility for abuse of power against the interests of service in commercial and other institutions (Article 250 of the Criminal Code). Under the provisions of the legislation the act does not apply to corruption.

Further, under Article 362 (paragraph 3), the fourth part) of the Criminal Code the abuse of power or official authority can only take place if an act is directly related to the implementation of his or her duties.

A similar relationship with the perpetrator of action granted to him of power and responsibilities assigned seen in the crime under Article 364 of the Criminal Code (illegal participation in entrepreneurial activity).

The peculiarity of corruption offenses in the form of receiving a bribe (Article 366 of the Criminal Code), bribery (Article 367 of the Criminal Code) and mediation in bribery (Article 368 of the Criminal Code) is their interconnectedness. This relationship is the basis of their designation single term - bribery.

Not every receipt - bribery committed with participation of a mediator. In order to evade responsibility takers carried out their activities in secret and hidden from potential witnesses and intermediaries.

Renowned criminologist EI Kairzhanov wrote: "Because of the general provisions on the composition of the crime and the dialectical unity of its elements should be that the object does not always have clearly defined boundaries, his face in every crime or separate provisions of the Criminal Code, although it is always present in any part of the crime. In other words, the object of protection is not always portrayed in the disposition of the criminal law"*.

The above means that the specification of the object of a criminal assault is possible within a specific criminal case. The object can be understood in relation to the subject. In this class of offenses subject is, as previously stated, the normal operation of the state apparatus and the apparatus of local government. The name of the chapter, which placed the articles under consideration, said that the objects also serve the interests of public service and public administration.
