Basis and limits of criminalization of spread of knowingly false information is proved in article. From the point of view of law enforcement, the author evaluates the legal technique of the corpus delicti of crimes in Articles 2071 and 2072 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In connection with the regulation of those spheres of public relations that previously did not need it, the study touches on certain aspects concerning the basis of criminal liability for the dissemination of deliberately false information about circumstances that pose a threat to the life and safety of citizens, or entailed serious consequences. Consider the separation of the components of administrative offences and criminal offences in connection with the public dissemination of false information in the media, information and telecommunication networks. The conclusion is made about the unjustified alternativeness of the studied compositions in criminal and administrative law, which complicates law enforcement practice. It also offers recommendations for resolving existing conflicts in legislative and law enforcement practice.
