Post-Soviet Criminal Codes

Criminal codes of Russia and of states of the former Soviet Union that wrote new criminal codes after independence while keeping a structure inherited from the Soviet period. A code belongs here when its cited article describes a criminal code of Russia, Belarus, Azerbaijan or Kazakhstan. It excludes the continental European and East Asian codes. A code of a state that is not a former Soviet republic never belongs here, even if its article mentions Soviet influence, and a code of Russia from before 1991 belongs in the Soviet group of the civil codes only if it is a civil code.
