Introduction. The article presents the results of the study of the criminal-legal content of testimony in the context of Art. 302 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The term «testimony» in the criminal-legal sense is interpreted too narrowly, which does not contribute to achieving the necessary level of protection of public relations in the sphere of administration of justice. The object of the crime, liability for which is provided for by Art. 302 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, are the interests of justice, in connection with which this legal norm protects not only the legal procedure for obtaining testimony during interrogation, but also the voluntariness of the transfer of information during other investigative actions. Methods. The study used the methods of analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization, analogy, induction, deduction, historical and legal, comparative legal and sociological methods. Results.For the needs of applying Art. 302 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, testimony should be considered not only as procedural evidence obtained during interrogation, but also as information obtained in the framework of other investigative actions. It is proposed to expand the understanding of the term «testimony» in the criminal law context. According to the author, in relation to Article 302 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, testimony should be understood as any oral and written messages made under duress during investigative actions, including a confrontation, presentation for identification, investigative experiment, etc. The key criterion for qualifying an act in this case should be the presence of coercion, and not the procedural form of recording messages. Such an approach will allow for more effective protection of public relations related to the protection of the interests of justice. It seems appropriate to reflect it in the explanations of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in particular in the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of June 28, 2022 № 20 «On Certain Issues of Judicial Practice in Criminal Cases of Crimes against Justice».
