The article discusses the stages of development of Russian criminology. Particular attention is paid to the modern stage, which began with the collapse of the USSR and the formation of the Russian Federation. Some of the most important findings of various studies are described. The article talks about the negative trends of recent times (since the mid-2000s). In addition, a brief critical description of contemporary Russian criminal justice is given.   W artykule omówione zostały etapy rozwoju kryminologii rosyjskiej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dziejów najnowszych, zapoczątkowanych upadkiem ZSRR i powstaniem Federacji Rosyjskiej. W tekście przywołano wyniki kluczowych badań oraz omówiono występujące w ostatnich latach negatywne trendy w przestępczości (począwszy od połowy pierwszej dekady XXI wieku). Ponadto przedstawiono krótką analizę współczesnego rosyjskiego wymiaru sprawiedliwości.
