In their research dedicated to the criminal conviction institute and its legal consequences, the authors consider it not only as a criminal legal category but also as a general legal concept. For this purpose the authors analyze the legal nature of conviction and its consequences as a criminal legal category as well as the impact of these consequences on general civil relations, in particular, on labor relations. The authors also investigate the issue of consequences after expunging or cancellation of conviction. They analyze the current Russian law on legal restrictions relating to expunging or cancellation of conviction. On the basis of this analysis the authors draw the conclusion on ambiguity of the imposed restrictions after expunging or cancellation of a conviction and on the occurring conflict of law. For readers’ reference the authors analyze legal initiatives of representatives to State Duma of the Federal Assembly of Russian Federation as well as opinions of competent state authorities in charge of this issue.
