Abstract:
The study of processes of reorganization of the system of regional and local government, which have been taking place in Russia for more than 10 years by now clearly has to include historical aspects of it for both practical and theoretical reasons. That is why the example of the reform in Siberia and the Far East of Russia in late XIX – early XX centuries, which was aimed to create the most positive situation for economical and political development of a far-situated region and to solve the “land problem” by arranging for the people to move to this region, becomes so topical.

Abstract:
This article is devoted to topical issues related to coercion within investigative activity. As the authors note, when the new Criminal Procedural Code was adopted in 2001, new issues arose in this sphere, once new investigative acts were introduced by the Code, and a number of provisions on pre-existing investigative acts were changed. In this article investigative acts are classified into three groups, and analysis of each investigative act, such as recording of phone conversations, interrogation, judicial expertise, is presented. It is the opinion of V.M. Bykov and N.V. Tkacheva, that since Russia strives to become a jural state, degree of coercive activities within investigation sphere should be lessened and the Criminal Procedural Code should be amended for this purpose.
