A comparative view on the regulation of goal-setting categories in the criminal procedure legislation of post-Soviet states

The authors of the article analyze one of the trends in the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation and neighboring countries, formed in the period of its codification in 1958-1961, which consists in fixing in the texts of laws such categories as the purpose and objectives of this branch of law or the activity regulated by it. The legal techniques used by legislators in Post-Soviet states to reflect these categories in regulatory legal acts are contradictory and sometimes polar. The law and jurisdictional activity are heterogeneous in terms of the subject of legal regulation, and most importantly - in terms of the content of the norms defining their status.
