The article considers the problems associated with the use in proving the testimony of persons with a transforming criminal procedural status. A concrete example of the use of witness testimony in proving a criminal case is described, the process of establishing the truth in which was complicated by the opposition of the defense. During the court session, the prosecution's witness withdrew from the testimony he had given at the preliminary investigation stage, explaining this by the pressure exerted on him by the investigator, which fully satisfied the defense. Thanks to the creative approach and activity of the prosecution, it was possible to obtain new evidence, which allowed not only to expose the witness in giving knowingly false testimony in court, but also to convince the court of the guilt of the defendant, in whose favor the witness changed his testimony.

В статье обосновывается концепция сложности деятельности следователя органов внутренних дел, которая обуславливается уровнем сложности уголовного дела, критериями которой выступают показатели темпоральности и процессуальной неопределенности. Дается характеристика понятиям «темпоральность» и «процессуальная неопределенность» в дискурсе расследования уголовного дела. Автор приходит к выводу, что увеличение сложности деятельности следователей, то есть появление в ней сравнительно широкого спектра проблем, затруднений и неопределенностей, приводит к возрастанию сложности функций психической регуляции. Каждая из функций когнитивного, аффективного, регулятивного, коммуникативного или конативного характера актуализируются в процессе расследования сложных уголовных дел. При написании статьи автором использован собственный опыт следственной практики по расследованию уголовных дел и данные проведенного исследования субъективного мнения следователей органов внутренних дел, осуществляющих деятельность на территории Республики Карелии, о критериях сложности расследования уголовного дела. Автором предложено в теоретическом дискурсе классифицировать сложность деятельности следователя на три уровня: простой, сложный и особо сложный, которые определяются рядом характеристик расследования уголовного дела. The article establishes the concept of complexity of the activity of the investigator of internal affairs bodies, which is determined by the level of complexity of the criminal case, the criteria of which are indicators of temporality and procedural uncertainty. The article describes the concepts of «temporality» and «procedural uncertainty» in the discourse of criminal investigation. The author comes to the conclusion that the increase in the complexity of the investigators ' activities, i.e. the appearance of a relatively wide range of problems, ambiguities, difficulties and uncertainties leads to an increase in the complexity of the functions of mental regulation. Each of the functions of a cognitive, affective, regulatory, communicative or conative nature is updated in the process of investigating complex criminal cases. When writing the article, the author uses his own experience of investigative practice in criminal cases and data from the study of the subjective opinion of investigators of internal Affairs bodies operating in the Republic of Karelia on the criteria for the complexity of criminal investigation. The author proposes to classify the complexity of the investigator's activity into three levels: simple, complex and particularly complex, which are determined by a number of characteristics of the criminal investigation.

The bail serves to reduce the likelihood of the situation when the suspect or the accused flees from inquiry, preliminary investigation or trial, continues the criminal activity; threatens a witness and (or) other participants in criminal proceedings, destroys evidence, or otherwise obstructs a criminal case proceedings. Drawing on the structure of crimes committed in Russia, with more than half being property crimes such as theft and fraud, choosing bail as a preventive measure, if possible, seems to be a logical and apparently popular measure due to several circumstances. Most of the mercenary crimes are motivated by the illegal acquisition of property or money. Consequently, bail as a restraint measure affects the lucrative motivation of the suspect or the accused and is often adequate to the damage caused. A significant problem of social justice restoration in most criminal cases is the compensation for damage or harm, which in most cases is measured in monetary and property terms. In this case, the bail could become a real mechanism for compensation for such harm, because money or property in the case of bail is already available at the time of the trial and could be used to compensate for the harm caused. However, in reality, such compensation is not used. The conversion of bail to state revenue in case of violation by the accused or suspect of obligations related to the bail does not contribute to the solution of this problem.

In the process of criminal proceedings, the determination of the procedural status of a person participating in a criminal case is the most important stage of the investigation. It depends on who the person will be recognized, what rights and obligations it will have, how actively it will be able to participate in the criminal case. The paper examines issues related to the determination of the procedural status of a person inclined to use drugs, draws conclusions about the need to recognize the inclined victim in the framework of the investigation of criminal cases under Art. 230 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Induction to the consumption of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues.” The article analyzes the arguments in defense of the provision on recognizing as victims those who are inclined to use drugs, and also provides arguments explaining what kind of damage is caused by the perpetrator to people who have used drugs and who have refused their use. The presently existing judicial practice on determining the procedural status of persons inclined to use drugs is presented. The paper explains the reasons why investigators and prosecutors do not want to involve persons inclined to use drugs to participate in criminal proceedings on the side of the prosecution. Using the example of a judicial act that has entered into legal force, it is explained how the status of a victim in a criminal case can affect the sentence passed. The situation with cannabis is considered in order to understand the harm arising from one-time use of narcotic drugs. Attention is focused on the attitude of society towards narcotic drugs made from hemp, and on the example of works in the field of medicine, the author describes the damage caused to a person when hemp-based drugs are consumed. At the same time, it explains why drugs inflict both physical and moral harm on a person. Conclusions are formulated about the need for the incited person to participate in a criminal case in the status of a victim from the moment the investigator makes a decision to initiate a criminal case.

Determination of the investigator and the prosecutor procedural status is formulated in the article. Powers of the prosecutor in relation to the investigator are described. The author notes main objectives of the prosecutor activity. Changes of criminal procedure legislation which affect functions of the prosecutor and the investigator are studied. The problem of procedural independence of the investigator is considered. Main questions which the prosecutor has the right to address to the investigator are analyzed. It is offered that investigators should be a part of unified department but should closely interact with other law enforcement agencies. Rights of supervision of decisions legality, investigator actions (inaction) don’t limit procedural independence of the investigator. It is offered to give to the prosecutor an opportunity to give to the investigator written instructions on the direction of investigation and procedural actions production. At the same time the investigator has to have the right not to agree with these instructions and to report about it to the head of investigative body and also to the higher prosecutor. Introduction expediency of a new form of public prosecutor's reaction - introduction of cautions about inadmissibility of law violation to the investigator is proved. Such caution doesn't influence procedural independence of the investigator and just notifies him that when the prosecutor receives criminal case with indictment, contents will have certain claims. At the legislative level it is expediently to differentiate the prosecutor's powers on consideration and permission of complaints depending on the form (inquiry or preliminary investigation) in which preliminary investigation on criminal case is conducted.
