Abstract
Partial decriminalization of battery in Russia does not allow achieving the desired goals. The fact that a violence cannot be regarded as an administrative offense is not taken into account. The reasonable punishment of the child by the parent should not be seen as punishable battery. The reform has increased legal uncertainty. It cast doubt on the right to self-defense against common assaults. The comparison of Russian and English rules of law allows us to conclude the Russian legislator is much more tolerant to violence, and there are opposite tendencies in the development of Russian and English law in this aspect
