The purpose of this work is to refute the point of view of a number of theorists about the legal "backwardness" and programmed implementation doom of domestic public (and, above all, criminal) law. In this article, the author declares and argues the thesis that domestic criminal law (Russian/Russian) was initially, from the moment of its formation, based on the traditions of classical Roman law in its most developed Byzantine form. The reception of Roman law into Russian criminal law was carried out in two directions: canon law and secular law. And if the vector of Byzantine influence on the development of secular criminal law has faded over time, then canon law continues to test it to this day. As a result, the author substantiates the conclusion that understanding the true historical roots of the formation of domestic law forms the foundation for its development at the moment and frees the reform of Russian criminal law from artificially imposed dependence on the trends of development of European public law.

In the context of an uncontrolled process of changing criminal legislation, introducing countless amendments, including those that sometimes contradict each other, violating the unity and systemic nature of the norms of the General and Special Parts of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the issue of achieving balance, stability of the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is particularly acute, bringing it into a coherent and structured state. Harmonization of legislation is exactly the process that, in our opinion, contributes to the achievement of this goal. The article examines the concepts of "harmony", "harmonization", including their legislative interpretations, and also gives a general idea of the "golden ratio" and the use of the patterns arising from it for the purposes of harmonizing criminal legislation. The idea of the possibility of using the law of the "golden proportion" and the "divine" irrational number 1.618 is substantiated, for example, in determining the category of crimes (Article 15 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), as well as in constructing sanctions for simple, qualified and especially qualified offenses. The proposals formulated in the article can be used in legislative activities and in conducting scientific and legal research.
