The purpose of the study is to analyze the grounds for terminating a criminal case due to the non-appearance of a private prosecutor without good reason at a court session in criminal cases of private prosecution (both provided for by the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and arising from the Resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation dated April 13, 2021). The mechanism proposed by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation for exercising the right of the defendant to effective judicial protection did not remove the problem of applying Part 3 of Art. 249 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, and the legislator, who did not accept the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, returned to the basis for terminating the criminal. cases of private prosecution when the private prosecutor fails to appear without good reason at the court session, provided for by the Code of Criminal Procedure of the RSFSR.
The article analyzes tasks of simplified proceedings. The forms of simplified proceedings are considered as "summary proceedings" (England), "plea bargaining" (USA), "conditional refusal to initiate criminal prosecution", "criminal order" (France), "expedited proceedings"(Germany). The ways of implementation in domestic legislation have been developed and proposed based on the results of studying models of simplified legal proceedings.
SUMMARY
One of serious problems for each state is to ensure the promptness of criminal proceedings regardless of legal system in which it operates. Attention has recently been drawn to the need of introduction of simplified procedure among the ways to increase efficiency.
Discussion at the XII UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (El Salvador, Brazil, April 12-19, 2010) about the concept of simplified (accelerated) criminal justice showed that improving the fight against crime in modern conditions requires taking into account a wide range of factors. Issues negatively affecting its condition included ineffective and protracted investigations, limited use of pretrial detention clauses, ineffective case management, limited resources from prosecutors and judiciary and their insufficient use.
According to the UN, summary proceedings are simplified procedure that expedites court proceedings in order to make criminal justice system more efficient and minimize costs. In general, summary judgment is used in lower courts, usually for less serious criminal offenses, and is an expedited procedure in which certain formal procedures are not required or simplified.
One of described by the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan psychological states of individual that affect the qualification of the offense is a crime in the state of heat of passion. Strong emotion, as one of the most important psychological states of persons is enshrined in criminal law (the Article 55 of the Criminal Code) as a circumstance mitigating punishment. In addition, it is a constructive sign of crimes stipulated by the Articles 98 and 106 of the Criminal Code.
This article analyzes the main principles in understanding issues of classification of affective crimes in accordance with articles 98 and 106 of Criminal code of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The analysis provides specific suggestions for improving the criminal law of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
With this article, the author continues the cycle of his scientific publications dedicated to the study of the structure of criminal procedural evidence. Based on the arguments presented, the author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to partially revise his previous position, which implies the consideration of the categories of “collecting evidence” and “forming evidence” as two autonomous ways of carrying out the first stage of proof.
Instead, the author proposes to attach a somewhat conditional meaning to the category of “collection of evidence”, understanding by it any forms of behavior of participants in criminal proceedings aimed at obtaining and subsequent proceduralization of useful information.
SUMMARY
In this article, the author continues the series of scientific publications devoted to the study of the problems of collecting evidence as a cumulative stage of the work of the preliminary investigation bodies and the court with evidentiary materials in a criminal case. Moreover, these issues are considered in the context of a comparative analysis of the criminal procedure legislation of two sovereign states that emerged in the post Soviet space – Russia and Uzbekistan. In the first half of the article, the author introduces potential readers to his previous scientific positions on the essence of collecting evidence in criminal proceedings. And in the second part of the article, we consider the reasons that prompted a partial revision and rethinking of their previous positions. Based on these arguments, the author suggests that in the future the category "evidence collection" should be given a somewhat conditional meaning and that it should be understood as any form of behavior of participants in criminal proceedings aimed at obtaining and subsequent processing of useful information. The author believes that collection of evidence may be carried out through the implementation of two autonomous procedural mechanisms: a) formation of evidence, involving the creation (as the birth) of new educational resources through the procedural forms, i.e. through production in accordance with the CPC proceedings, consists in the perception of (study) the inquirer, investigator, court, as well as expert useful information and its transformation, transformation to the appropriate readings, expert opinions and results (protocols) of non-verbal investigative and judicial actions (and for the Uzbek criminal process-also audio, video and film recording materials that are Autonomous means of proof); b) attaching evidence to the materials of a criminal case that involves obtaining by presenting, requesting or withdrawing various items and documents, as well as their subsequent recognition as material evidence, other documents, expert opinions, results of operational search activities and administrative activities on the basis of a special state authority act of the body of inquiry, preliminary investigation or court, which gives them legal force and determines whether they can be used to justify law enforcement decisions.
In article are analyzed on the basis of the criminal procedure legislation and polemic of procedural scientists functions of pre-trial proceedings. Some offers are created to the theory and practice of criminal trial. In particular, it is offered to unite “charge function” and “investigation function” one concept and to call “function of criminal prosecution”. Also it is offered to make changes in
the Criminal Procedure Code about that the decision on recognition of the person by the guilty person with release from criminal liability was made only by court.

Moreover, it is noted that it is advisable to reflect in the Criminal Code the norm on the application of provisions on the retroactive operation of the criminal law, even in cases where a change or repeal of another normative legal act without changing the criminal law affects the content of the elements of the crime.
