The article examines the legal regulation of the institution of immunity in the Russian Federation. The modern constitutional and legal regulation of parliamentary immunity looks very contradictory, and this is the justified relevance of this work. As a result of the study, the author proposes for introduction into scientific circulation such constitutional and legal categories as «unconditional immunity» and «preventive immunity». The author believes that, despite the criticism that the institution of immunity is periodically exposed to, its need to ensure the constitutional and legal status of parliamentarians is obvious. But its action should be limited to the sphere of realizing the status of the people's representative. In other respects, senators and deputies should be subject to legal responsibility on a common basis with other citizens.
