This paper is focused on comparative analysis of crimes against property as they are defined in international treaties and Russian Criminal Code. The methodological basis of the study is a set of doctrinal, comparative and linguistic methods. A comparative analysis of international and national criminal legislation providing liability for stealing of property was carried out. The forms of stealing have been determined and their elements have been described. As a result of the study it can be concluded that there is no well-structured system of crimes against property on universal level. Even though there is common understanding of crimes against property in domestic and international law, the Criminal Code of Russian Federation does not share the approach of international treaties in the matter of formulating some elements of actus reus.
