Based on the comparative legal analysis, the conclusions were made about the occurrence of situations showing unjustified differences in changing the procedural form of reviewing by higher courts of civil, administrative, criminal cases, economic disputes; unequal conditions for the protection of violated rights of citizens and organizations in various forms of legal proceedings; restriction of citizens ’ access to control and verification phases in criminal proceedings. For the purpose of unifying the Russian Federation procedural legislation, the proposals for its improvement were formulated.
