LEGAL REGULATION OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURAL RELATIONS: TO THE HISTORY OF THE ISSUE

Abstract: since the adoption of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation in 2001, many changes have been made to it, radically changing the essence and legal nature of individual institutions, the position of subjects, etc. Often such changes are justified by practical efficiency, convenience for the law enforcement officer or the desire to “simplify” the process in the interests of the parties. At the same time, many of them have been functioning for centuries. Understanding the historical essence and legal nature of the emergence and evolution of individual institutions is important not only for historians, but also for practitioners to understand the significance of individual provisions. The purpose of the work is to identify the first mention of certain provisions of criminal proceedings that are currently in force, to identify their historical and legal nature. The practical significance of the work consists in the possibility of using the formulated conclusions in further scientific research, as well as in improving the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation.
