This article examines the history of the formation and development of mediation in bribery as an independent criminal act. The paper uses a comparative legal analysis of the legislation regulating criminal liability for mediation in bribery in the XX--XXI centuries, as well as explanations of some resolutions of the Plenums of the Supreme Courts of the Soviet and modern periods. This study proves that the act under investigation is not something completely new for Russia, but its legal foundations have been constantly changing. The main purpose of the work is to search for and identify various socio-legal and historical aspects of the genesis of such a criminal act as "mediation in bribery". The study of the evolution of the criminal law norm regulating responsibility for mediation in bribery in Russia allowed us to conclude that the proposed solutions to controversial issues will provide an opportunity to eliminate gaps in the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in an hour.
