The Role of the Russian Judicial Reform in Improving Judicial and Pre-Trial Proceedings in the Criminal Procedure in Modern Times

The judicial reform implemented in the Russian Federation and the ongoing judicial construction remain the most important directions of state policy. The paper contains a comprehensive analysis of the organizational foundations of the judiciary, an understanding of the constitutional principles of the judicial system and its features, and includes a study of criminal procedure legislation at various stages of the formation of the Russian state. The methodological basis of the study is a combination of theoretical and empirical research methods. The combination of the analytical and comparative legal method made it possible to form an idea of the evolution of the judicial system and criminal procedure legislation, to compare the legal acts regulating the judicial system and legal proceedings, which made it possible to draw conclusions about the achievements and shortcomings of legal regulation of the area in question. In general, the authors conclude that the reform of the judiciary is positive, since it will increase the accessibility, effectiveness and transparency of justice — the triumph of justice based on the rule of law.
