В статье рассматриваются правовые и организационные вопросы, возникающие при исполнении мер пресечения, которые в соответствии с уголовно-процессуальным законодательством исполняют уголовно-исполнительные инспекции Федеральной службы исполнения наказаний (ФСИН России). Автор исследует исторически сложившиеся традиции исполнения мер пресечения и выявляет несоответствие в задачах, возложенных на ФСИН России, в связи с необоснованным расширением круга обязанностей сотрудников уголовно-исполнительных инспекций, вынужденных исполнять, кроме наказаний без изоляции от общества и иных мер уголовно-правового характера, еще и меры пресечения. В этой связи в теоретическом и прикладном аспектах актуальность и определенный интерес представляет статья, посвященная рассмотрению практики применения мер уголовно-процессуального принуждения уголовно-исполнительными инспекциями. Существенной новизной настоящей работы является отражение современных проблем применения следующих мер пресечения: домашний арест, запрет определенных действий, залог при возложении на подозреваемого/обвиняемого соблюдать запреты в соответствии с ч. 6 ст. 105.1 Уголовно-процессуального кодекса Российской Федерации, основным контролирующим органом - федеральным органом исполнительной власти, осуществляющим правоприменительные функции, функции по контролю и надзору в сфере исполнения уголовных наказаний в отношении осужденных, а именно - уголовно-исполнительными инспекциями. Определяющее значение в обосновании позиции автора играет тот факт, что согласно руководящим нормативным правовым актам исполняемые сегодня уголовно-исполнительными инспекциями меры пресечения, за исключением домашнего ареста, не имеют должного законодательного закрепления. Кроме выделенных проблем, автором предложены пути их решения, которые были получены в ходе системного анализа действующего уголовно-процессуального и уголовно-исполнительного законодательства. The article deals with the legal and organizational issues that arise in the execution of preventive measures, which, in accordance with the criminal procedure legislation, are executed by the criminal Executive inspections of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The author examines the historical traditions of execution of preventive measures, and identifies inconsistencies in the tasks assigned to the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia in connection with the unjustified expansion of the range of duties of employees of criminal Executive inspections, forced to perform, in addition to punishments without isolation from society and other measures of a criminal legal nature, also preventive measures. In this regard, in theoretical and applied aspects, the article devoted to the review of the practice of applying measures of criminal procedural coercion by criminal Executive inspections is relevant and of some interest. A significant novelty of this work is the reflection of modern problems of applying the following preventive measures: house arrest, prohibition of certain actions, bail when assigning a suspect / accused to comply with prohibitions in accordance with Pt. 6 of Art. 105.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, the main controlling body-the Federal Executive authority that performs law enforcement functions, functions of control and supervision in the field of execution of criminal penalties against convicted persons, namely, criminal Executive inspections. The author's position is based on the fact that according to the guiding normative legal acts, the preventive measures implemented by the criminal Executive inspections today, with the exception of house arrest, do not have a proper legislative basis. In addition to the identified problems, the author suggests ways to solve them, which were obtained in the course of a systematic analysis of the current criminal procedure and criminal enforcement legislation.

In the article, the author turns to the study of the peculiarities of choosing such a preventive measure as house arrest for minors. Due to the fact that the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation does not precisely define cases when a court must elect a house arrest in relation to minors, in practice there are often difficulties in which cases to choose such a preventive measure as detention, and in which house arrest. In the work, the author attempts to determine the essence of such a preventive measure as house arrest and the peculiarities of his election in relation to minors, and also considers the prohibitions and (or) restrictions to which minors cannot be subjected. The positions contained in the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court “On the practice of the application by the courts of legislation on preventive measures in the form of detention, house arrest and bail” are analyzed. The author expresses the opinion that it is inadvisable to choose such a preventive measure as house arrest for minors. Based on the study, the author makes recommendations on the possibility, at the discretion of the court, to make adjustments to the prohibitions and (or) restrictions to which a minor suspect or accused will be subjected to whom such a preventive measure as house arrest is chosen.

To implement the norms of international law into the practice of Russian legal system while choosing a preventive measure against an accused minor or a suspect, to decide on the most humane preventive measure is the issue of great importance. This position is reflected in Art. 423 of the Criminal Procedure Code providing the fundamental foundations of criminal procedure provisions concerning preventive measures against minors. When making a decision on restraint measures related to isolation from society, the possibility of applying an alternative, more humane preventive measure should be taken into account. The article describes the ratio of house arrest to detention. It has been justified that in the system of preventive measures house arrest should be recognized as a measure not related to isolation from society, and as a more common alternative to detention. The legislator periodically attempts to improve the procedural situation of minors involved in criminal procedure. Problems are connected with unstructured placement of norms regarding juvenile suspects and accused in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. Secondly, it is linked with the absence of features of house arrest of minors. All this makes the author state that despite the large-scale judicial and legal reform, the legal regulation of preventive measures against minors needs to be further improved. The subject of the study is a scientific analysis of the sources of criminal procedure legislation on the legal regulation of house arrest in the system of preventive measures against minors. The purpose of the study is to provide scientific analysis of the features of house arrest applied to minors and to form an author’s position on this issue. Research methods cover systemic analysis, structural, logical, and comparative scientific methods. The results achieved are the analysis of the system of preventive measures against minors with the identification of the specifics of house arrest, the recognition of this measure as a preventive means not related to isolation from society, and the formation of the author’s version of the norm of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation governing this preventive step.

The article analyzes the changes in the legal regulation of the house arrest and the practice of its imposition. Particular attention is given to the controversial issue of the right of the accused under house arrest to leave the premises for a walk. The authors note that the Normative Transformation of House Arrest, which brought it closer to detention, set the law enforcement task to overcome the established stereotypes in the interpretation of specific provisions related to the essence of this preventive measure. First, it concerns the “regime” of isolation, specifically, the possibility of the accused to take walks. Today, when the house arrest implies ultimate isolation of the accused with the right to live in their home, the court’s permission for the accused to leave the place of residence is not based on the law. The authors conclude that the positive decision of the court is permissible only because of applying the law by analogy. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the responsibility of the state to take care of the health of persons whose possibilities in this part are limited due to the election of preventive measures with isolation from society.

The article analyzes the debatable aspects of the normative regulation of obtaining samples for a comparative study according to the current Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. Attention is paid to the key problems in the regulation of this action, and to the difficulties that law enforcement employees face due to them. The author examines the questions of defining the legal nature of obtaining samples for a comparative study, and the possibility of using the operative search potential instead of the procedural method to obtain comparative samples. While analyzing the problems of setting the limits of compulsion for this action, the author stresses the incorrectness of some wording in the law (Art. 202 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation). In the light of ensuring the right of criminally prosecuted persons to defense, the author also presents a critical assessment of the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation reflected in the Definition of July 23, 2020 № 1856-0, in the part where obtaining samples for a comparative study is recognized as an action of urgent nature.

The subject of the research within the framework of the article is the criminal procedure institute for the detention of a person on suspicion of committing a crime. The legal nature of this institution is analyzed, and comments are given on the normative legal acts and judicial practice regulating the issues of detention. The theoretical basis of the research is based on the publications of the last two decades on this problem, in particular, reflecting the discussion of the process scientists S. A. Shafer, S. B. Rossinsky and A. A. Tarasov, the subject of which was the issue of the legal nature of a suspect detention in a criminal case. In the paper, the authors ask the following questions: What is the detention of a person on suspicion of committing a crime in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation? From what moment does the detained person acquire the status of a suspect? Is it possible to detain a person before initiating a criminal case? The study concludes that a person acquires the actual status of a suspect from the moment of direct detention, that is, before documenting this status and, as a result, before initiating a criminal case. Amendments to the articles of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation are proposed, and the authors` versions of the definitions of the concepts «detention of a suspect», «the moment of actual detention» and «pre-trial proceedings» are given.

In the current difficult conditions for the economy of our state, corruption crimes represent a higher level of danger. It is necessary to reform anti-corruption activities in order to increase its effectiveness. One of the radical measures in the field of anti-corruption will be the abolition of the presumption of innocence for corrupt illegal acts. The presumption of inno-cence is a fundamental and irremovable principle of criminal law, which is enshrined in article 14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation. Violation of this principle is impossible for criminal proceedings, but modern circumstances require timely, prompt, and sometimes radical so-lutions. It is worth not to neglect the measures of “insuring” on the part of law enforcement agencies, since otherwise it will increase the share of cor-ruption crimes in law enforcement agencies. The content of paragraph 4 of article 14 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation is man-datory even if the presumption of innocence for corruption crimes is can-celed: “A conviction cannot be based on assumptions”. At the same time, the principle of differentiation of punishment will be implemented by assigning the term of imprisonment from the minimum to the maximum, depending on the severity of the illegal act.
