Measures are being taken in Russia to improve anti-terrorist legislation, with special attention paid to increasing the counter-terrorism potential of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, the current anti-terrorism regulations are not without drawbacks. Thus, terrorist activity is interpreted differently in Art. 3 of the Federal Law "On Countering Terrorism" and Art. 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which leads to contradictory investigative and judicial practice. The solution is seen in the unification of the definition of terrorist activity and the definition in the wording of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation looks preferable. It is noted that the legal support for the operational penetration of law enforcement agencies into terrorist structures does not meet the requirements, since the norm of Part 4 of Art. 18 of the federal law "On operational-search activity" (contains an operational-search basis for active repentance) remains inoperative due to the lack of its incorporation into the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. The article formulates additions to these codified federal laws, which will legitimize the operational-search basis for active repentance.
