The article justifies the system of criteria, on the basis of which the compensation amount for non-property damage shall be determined. There are highlighted some common criteria applied in case of violation of any civil, family or labor rights; particular criteria used in violation of specific subjective rights, and the criteria for reducing and increasing the amount of non-property damage. Common grounds of increase of the amount of compensation are proposed as followers: causing both moral and physical damage by violation the same non-property right; causing non-pecuniary damage in connection with the simultaneous violation of several non-property rights. The author proves the necessity of introducing in the law such common grounds of reducing of the amount of compensation as: form and degree of fault of the victim; financial situation of a tortfeasor — citizen; expiration of a long period of time after the occurrence of damage and under certain conditions; voluntary taking actions by a tortfeasor to mitigate the effects of non-pecuniary damage caused before filing a suit. It is considered by the author to be fair to protect the interests of victims by establishing in law the minimum amount of compensation for non-pecuniary damage, linking it with the fold of the minimum wage.
