Stalking is a social phenomenon that is directly related to the violation of the fundamental constitutional rights of citizens of the Russian Federation, but for which, unfortunately, the legislation of the Russian Federation lacks a mechanism for legal regulation of counteraction at the state level. The article considers the problem of qualification of this act in connection with the lack of legal regulation of persecution in the Russian Federation. As part of the solution to this problem, the practice of introducing criminal liability for stalking in the modern world is analyzed and, accordingly, the need for criminalization of stalking in Russia is justified.
