As a rule, the weakening of Georgia means the encroachment of the country's economic foundations.
  The work also presents an overview of the legislation of foreign countries related to the research topic, which makes the problems associated with this issue more understandable for the reader, which is more felt in practice.

The concerns discussed in the paper are more noticeable in practice, in particular, when investigating the facts of sabotage and initiating a criminal case on this charge, as well as when considering the case by the court and making summary decisions on the case.
  The purpose of the scientific paper is to identify the problems surrounding the subjective side of sabotage and to determine the ways to solve them.
