Summary/Abstract: The subject of this article covers the ratio of diversion and terrorist act, which includes: 1) a comparative analysis of the Criminal Law provisions defined in the Article 113 and Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine; 2) study of competition issues of these norms and separation from a similar set of such crimes.It is substantiated that the difference in the elements of crimes provided defined in Article 113 and Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, above all, consists in the discrepancy between their mandatory signs of the object of the crime, the objective and subjective elements of the crime. Therefore, with the possible coincidence of some legal features of these crime elements, one or more of such distinctive features may be crucial for separation between a diversion and a terrorist act.During the investigating of the punishability for these crimes, it was found that in some cases the actual infliction of harm by a s diversion causes the necessity for additional qualifications by Part 2 of Art. 115 or Part 3 of Art. 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It is proved that the norm of diversion can be competed with the norm of a terrorist act as a whole (Article 113 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) and as part of the whole (Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), and in such cases the preference in enforcement should be qualified as a diversion. Examples given in this article are an illustrations of an ideal and actual set of diversion e and terrorist act.
