The Issue of Necessity of Determining the Category of Advenal Participants of the Russian Criminal Proceedings: Criminal Procedural Law and Criminalistic Aspects

A multinational character of our state (currently more than 204 nationalities live on the territory of the Russian Federation), a considerable representation of migrants and naturalized foreign citizens among the Russian population, a large number of foreign citizens who are in Russia illegally adversely affect criminality in the country and entail difficulties for the investigation of relevant criminal cases. At the moment, we can argue that a new element has emerged in the structure of the Russian population, namely: naturalized citizens of Russia and foreign citizens who differ in their ethnicity from the titular ethnic group and the peoples of the Russian Federation having national territorial formations on the basis of their national language, culture, traditions, mentality and values. The authors of the article believe that such persons form an independent group of advenals. Difficulties with the implementation of such principles as respect for the honor and dignity of such individuals, language of court proceedings, the right to freedom of religion considered in the paper result in drawing a conclusion about the necessity of development of methods of investigation of advenal crimes. They include a set of scientific premises and practical recommendations developed on the basis of such premises used to organize and implement identification, investigation, disclosure and prevention of crimes committed by advenal persons against advenal persons or crimes perceived by advenal persons whose personal characteristics, as reflected in their activities, determine the course of conduct of investigators collecting, examining and evaluating evidence in a case.
