An inchoate crime shall be deemed to be an attempted crime and preparation for grave or particularly grave crimes. 3. Liability for preparation of a crime and the attempted crime shall be ensued under the same Article of the Special Part of this Code, as for a completed crime — referring to Articles 34 or 35 of this Code. Article 34. Attempted crime An attempted crime shall be deemed to be an action (inaction) committed with direct intention which is directly aimed at committing a criminal offence, where the crime has not been completed for circumstances beyond the person’s control. Article 35. Preparation of crime Preparation of crime shall be deemed to be acquisition or adaptation of means or tools for committing a criminal offence with direct intention, as well as intentional creation of other conditions, where the crime has not been completed for circumstances beyond the person's control. Article 36. Voluntary renunciation of criminal purpose 1. Voluntary renunciation of criminal purpose shall be deemed to be termination of preparation of a crime or an attempted crime or an action (inaction) immediately aimed at committing a criminal offence by a person, where he or she has realised the possibility of completing the crime. 2. A person having voluntarily renunciated criminal purpose to complete a crime shall not be subject to criminal liability, unless his or her act actually committed contains other corpus delicti. 3. An organiser, inciter or abettor of a crime shall not be subject to criminal liability in the event of voluntary renunciation of criminal purpose, where he or she, by informing state authorities or through other measures undertaken, has prevented the perpetrator from completing the crime. 4. Where actions specified in part 3 of this Article have not resulted in the prevention of a crime committed by a perpetrator, the measures undertaken may be taken into account as a circumstance mitigating liability and punishment when imposing punishment.
