Definition of forced labor and forced work in the Russian and international law

The article examines the problem of the relationship between the constitutional ban on forced labor, as well as the criminal ban on slave labor, on the one hand, and the actual use of the former in the execution of such criminal and administrative penalties, as compulsory labor, community service, corrective labor and community service, including «without pay», on the other. At the same time, the norms of not only domestic legislation, but also international law, as well as the judicial practice of both the highest Russian courts and the European Court of Human Rights are analyzed. In order to eliminate the identified conflicts, it is proposed to amend the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
