Since the formation of a state-organized society, norms have been emerging aimed at ensuring the authority of judicial activity. In the development of the Russian institute of crimes against justice, several periods can be distinguished – Zemstvo, Moscow, imperial, Soviet and modern. The most successful model of the head of crimes against justice was fixed in the Criminal Code of 1903. This model most closely corresponded to the essence of the concept of "justice". The content of Chapter 31 in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was formed under the influence of the social situation of the 90s of the XX century.
