* 16. If any socially dangerous activity is not directly covered by this code, then the foundation and limits of responsibility for it are defined in relation to those articles of the code, which provide for the most similar type of crime.

* 17. Measures of social defense of a judicial-corrective character are to be applied the same way to those who committed a crime -- the perpetrators, as to their fellow participants -- instigators and helpers.

Persons inclined to commit a crime are considered inciters.

Persons cooperating in the perpetration of a crime with advice, instructions, provision of means and removal of obstacles, or likewise hiding the criminal or traces of the crime, are considered helpers.

18. Measures of social defense of a judicial-corrective character are defined for each of the participants in

[begin p. 8]

accordance both with the degree of their participation in the given crime, as well as the degree of danger of that crime and the persons participating in it.

Failure to denounce a crime either perpetrated or in preparation is punishable by measures of social defense of a judicial-corrective character only in situations, specially indicated in this code.

* 19. Attempts at any crime, and likewise preparatory actions for crime, manifested in the finding or employment of tools, means and the creation of conditions of crime, are punishable in the same way as crimes committed; accordingly, the court when choosing a measure of social defense of a judicial-corrective character must be guided by the dangerousness of the person committing the crime or the attempt, the degree of preparation of the crime, and the nearness of the arrival of its consequences, and likewise the reasons for which the crime was not carried to a conslusion.

In cases, where the crime was not carried out due to the voluntary refusal of the person, who had intended to carry out the crime, to perpetrate it, the court will impose measures of social defense corresponding to those acts that actually had been carried out by the attempter or preparer.
