The article provides a comparative analysis of Russian and Indian legislation in terms of regulating the stages of committing a crime. The comparative legal method allows the authors to identify the features, advantages and disadvantages of each system. In identifying the phases of crimes, it is observed that the Indian criminal code and Russian criminal law share several characteristics. In both countries, the legislation adheres to a similar approach to defining the stages of a crime, highlighting preparation, attempt, and completed crime. However, there are nuances in determining what is considered preparation and attempt. The study found that in Russian criminal legislation, the institute of stages of committing crimes is developed more deeply and in more detail. But the Indian penal code places more emphasis on the analysis of the intention of the offender, while circumstances that prevented the completion of the crime are not taken into account.
