The article substantiates that the victim in the structure of the object of the crime, the responsibility for which is established by Article 302 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, may be a person who is not vested with procedural status. The criterion for distinguishing coercion to testify from the abuse of official authority is not the presence of the procedural status of the victim, but the purpose of committing the crime.
