PROCEDURAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL MEANS OF MODERN CAS-SATION PRODUCTION IN THE CRIMINAL PROCESS OF RUSSIA

Abstract

As a result of the next stage of judicial reform in the Russian Federation, cassation proceedings in criminal proceedings have been significantly modernized. The modernization affected both organizational and procedural means of cassation proceedings. In the organizational aspect, new cassation instances have been formed, functioning on the principles of extraterritoriality and independence. In the procedural aspect: the multi-level instance cassation review of criminal cases has been changed; the list of cassation appeal subjects has been expanded; the procedure for cassation appeal and consideration of cases was updated, which included new procedural means that significantly expanded the right of citizens to effective judicial protection. All of this indicates the relevance and validity of addressing the topic of this study.
