Abstract
The process of proving has always been and today still is the central problem of criminal proceedings, and most aspects of modern criminal procedure activities are connected with it. The cognitive character of the proving process presupposes the use of multiple methods, the most complex and significant of which is the method of presuming. This method of legal technique is well represented in the Russian legislation. At the same time, legal science and the theory of criminal procedure law, which have multiple definitions of legal or lawful presumption reflecting various aspects of the concept under consideration, do not contain a unified approach to understanding its essence. This situation distorts the meaning of the definition of legal presumption and leads the situation when some authors and practicing lawyers use the word “presumption” to refer to legal norms that are not, in fact, legal presumptions. The authors describe the concept, meaning and key elements of the contents (features) of legal presumption as a method of legal technique that influenced the formation and development of modern Russian criminal procedure legislation.
