Despite the detailed study of this issue in the doctrine, there are significant difficulties in implementing the mechanism of collecting fines from both minors and their parents or legal representatives in accordance with the provisions of Part 2 of Article 88 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, according to which a fine imposed on a minor convicted person may be collected from their parents or other legal representatives with their consent.
