Purpose: recognizing the acceptability of such a formulation of the question, to prove that the issue of public order in the Russian Federation requires theoretical comprehension and individual interpretation in each specific case. Methods: the author uses the methods of dialectical and formal logic, structural-system analysis and synthesis, comparative jurisprudence. Results: it is proved that the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights concerning international fair trial standards cannot harm the public order in Russia. On the contrary, the compliance of the Russian criminal justice system with international standards of justice is a reliable guarantee of the preservation of the foundations of public order in any country.
