The article gives a brief description of the main provisions of the new economic policy of the Soviet state, which had a significant impact on the criminalization of economic relations taking shape in the Soviet state of the period under review. The increase in the number of economic and official crimes, as well as the low efficiency of the investigation of crimes, put before law enforcement agencies a serious task to improve investigative activities. Based on the study of the unique works (1926, 1928 and 1931) of the forensic scientist V. I. Gromov, the conclusions are drawn and the most significant recommendations are given, which have not only historical value, but practical value for improving the practice of investigating economic crimes at the present stage.
