Kozyavin, A.A. The fortune of judicial reforms in Russia: XIX and XXI centuries

Abstract: The study concerns historical, social, and political grounds, which served as prerequisites for the need for judicial, legal and criminal procedural reforms in Russia in the middle of XIX century and the end of XX century within the complex of other social changes, and their substantiation in the scientific sources. The author studies the procedure for the implementation of judicial reforms, their main stages, normative sources (Judicial Charters of 1864 and the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, organic criminal procedural law), their characteristics in the scientific sources and judicial practice, and their main results, analyzes counter-reforms and their implementation in criminal procedural legislation and their characteristics in scientific sources and judicial practice. The author applies dialectic, comparative legal, historical, formal dogmatic methods of scientific analysis, general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, the author also uses the modern achievements of the science of the criminal procedural law. The author singles out and characterizes the general social backgrounds, content-related, social and psychological causes, goals and directions of the reforms of 1864 and 1990s, legal technology of these reforms, specific features of development of the reform provisions in the criminal process, causes and effects of their gradual rejection by the legal practice, causing the counter-reform. The author substantiates the unique similarities of these moments in spite of the obvious differences in the historical stages in the development of Russian statehood, justice and criminal judicial procedure. The author supports recognition of the greater efficiency and incomparable structural logic of the Judicial Charters of 1864 in comparison with the criminal procedural law of the modern Russia. The author makes conclusions on the identity of the fate of judicial reforms in Russia, which is failure to implement their social potential, which may serve as grounds for the development of the concept of the new judicial legal reform.
