The article examines controversial issues arising in the criminal legal qualification of drug smuggling in transit across the territory of the Russian Federation by a foreign citizen. The research interest in such crimes is determined not only by the theoretical comparison of the points of view of the investigation (the prosecution) and the defense on its legal qualification, but also by the legal point of how law enforcement practice bypassed the existing gap (contradiction) in Russian and international legislation in determining the territory of the commission of this crime. In this article, we will try to find out what rules of law are applied in legal force in transit trafficking in narcotic drugs, how to organize legal regulation of such situations, in order to prevent them, while respecting the principle of responsibility for a crime under the law of the place of its commission.
