Abstract
The article deals with obtaining explanations at the stage of initiating a criminal case as a procedural action and a source of evidence. Attention is drawn to the problematic issues related to the explanations, which causes an objective controversy among the scientists of processualists regarding the specified procedural document. The lack of a unified approach of scientists to explanations as a source of evidence is due, first of all, to the lack of procedural regulation of the procedure for obtaining them in criminal proceedings. The article proposes to make appropriate changes to the criminal procedure legislation aimed at improving the procedure for obtaining explanations when checking statements and reports of crimes.
