The paper retrospectively reviews comparative studies in the fields of criminal law, criminology, penitentiary law, criminal procedure and judicial system conducted at the Institute since its formation in 1925, and which have maintained a high standard for over 90 years. The authors present the quintessence of the brightest and most global research of the Institute, conducted by such researchers of comparativism as M. N. Gernet, A. A. Herzensohn, M. M. Grodzinskiy, A. A.Zhizhilenko, M. M. Isaev, P. I. Lyublinskiy, A. I. Lubenskiy, B. S. Mankovskiy, I. B. Michaelovskaya, B. S. Nikiforov, N. N. Pashe-Ozerskiy, A. A. Piontkovskiy, F. M. Reshetnikov, A. A. Trainin, E. G. Shirwindt, A. Y. Estrin and others. The review indicates the tendency to further enrich the heritage of the criminal comparative studies by the strength of the Institute.

The author, having chosen as the object of comparative research the norms of criminal codes of the country of Commonwealth of Independent States, of similar legal traditions to Russia, announces different models of constructing the institute of touch of crime. For example, the article draws attention to the trends: preservation of the traditional in criminal law triad of acts to touched — concealment, failure to report to crime and connivance (in Belarus and Uzbekistan); narrowing the species composition of the institute of touch to crime (in Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan); introduction of liability for new crimes committed by concealment predicate offences (in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan).
