Abstract
The problem of legislative regulation of the procedure for reconciliation of the victim with the suspected, the accused until a certain time was only a subject of discussion in the scientific literature. At the same time the state’s need to find measures that can eliminate the consequences of crimes without the use of ordinary criminal procedures has actualized the work on introducing alternative methods of settling the criminal-legal conflict into criminal proceedings. Given the urgent need to apply this procedure in practice, the Interregional Public Center “Judicial and Legal Reform” has developed and posted on its website a draft federal law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation to Provide the Victim, Suspect, and Accused with the Possibility of Reconciliation.” To implement the procedure for reconciliation in criminal proceedings, the drafters of the bill propose to include a new chapter in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation). The author of the article critically evaluates the attempt due to the inconsistency of a number of novels, their uncertainty and inconsistency with the norms of the criminal procedure law. To eliminate the existing shortcomings, it is proposed to provide a separate article defining the procedural status of the conciliator and to include the specified rule in Ch. 8 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. As a guarantee of the right of the victim, suspect, accused to reconciliation, the introduction of an appropriate addition to the criminal procedure norms governing the legal status of the named participants in criminal proceedings is considered.

Summary
Подозреваемый, обвиняемый и потерпевший вправе примириться на любом этапе производства по уголовному делу, самостоятельно определить условия примирения, конкретные действия, необходимые для заглаживания причиненного вреда. Во-первых, стимулировало бы правоприменителя к выяснению намерений сторон примириться, что усиливало бы гарантии реализации права на примирение, поскольку обстоятельства, смягчающие наказание, входят в предмет доказывания по уголовному делу Вместе с тем в Проекте отсутствуют предложения относительно придания самостоятельного процессуального статуса примирителю, что, по нашему мнению, делает неопределенным его права и обязанности по отношению как к сторонам, так и к лицам, ведущим производство по уголовному делу.
