Abstract

The article studies the reasons for the origination and the legal nature of explanations that may be obtained by criminal procedure authorities pursuant to Article 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in the course of the so-called “pre-trial examination” at the criminal case initiation stage. The authors refer to rulings of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and judicial practice to persist in their opinion that it is inadmissible to use any explanations obtained pursuant to Article 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation as evidence in criminal cases.
