The purpose of the study is to analyze the specifics of the processes of criminalization and decriminalization of hooliganism, changes in the scope of criminally punishable hooliganism, the category of the crime under consideration. As a result of the study, the features of the evolution of criminal responsibility for hooliganism in the criminal law of the Russian Federation are revealed, concerning the mandatory, qualifying and especially qualifying signs of the considered corpus delicti, the specifics of the processes of decriminalization and criminalization of actions that grossly violate public order and express obvious disrespect for society. It is concluded that the volume of hooliganism as a criminally punishable act has been repeatedly transformed - from a sharp reduction due to the decriminalization of "unarmed hooliganism" to the restoration of the possibility of criminal prosecution for violence or the threat of its use in the commission of hooliganism. Thus, there is a reverse criminalization of acts that were previously transferred to the category of administrative offenses.
