Based on the analysis of the norms of the current Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which entered into force on July 1, 2002, the article examines the tendency to strengthen the rights of the victim in criminal proceedings. It substantiates the need for further improvement of criminal procedure legislation defining the legal position of the victim in the Russian criminal process as an equal participant on the part of the prosecution.
At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that both the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation reflect the requirements of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international legal acts adopted in their development, guaranteeing human rights, including those of persons affected by criminal acts.
