Abstract

In the publication, the author examines the contribution to the science of the Russian criminal process of Doctor of Law, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor T.N. Moskalkova, who both in her dissertation for the degree of Candidate of Law and Doctor of Law examines the issues of ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings. The results of her scientific research regarding compensation for damage caused by unlawful detention, compensation for moral damage caused by unlawful prosecution, and a number of others were implemented in the provisions of chapter 18 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. As the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, T.N. Moskalkova pays special attention to issues of ensuring citizens’ access to justice, the implementation of which she sees through amendments to the procedural rules for the commencement of criminal proceedings.

Fully supporting the position of Professor T.N. Moskalkova, the author in this article, based on the numerous statistical data provided by him, materials of criminal cases, positions of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation for more than 30 years, justifies the need to exclude the institution of criminal proceedings.
