RESTORATION OF THE INSTITUTE OF PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE IN SOVIET RUSSIA

Abstract

The article analyzes the reasons and prerequisites for the restoration of the institution of the prosecutor’s office in the RSFSR. Shown is the process of organizing supervision by various state bodies during the absence of prosecutors. During the discussion of the Regulation on Prosecutor’s Supervision, different points of view on the place and role of the Prosecutor’s Office in the mechanism of the Soviet state are being considered. The conclusion is drawn: the creation of prosecutorial bodies and the organization of prosecutorial supervision met the challenges of the time. The full functioning of law enforcement agencies, like the entire Soviet state apparatus, became possible on the basis of the revival of a new type of prosecutor’s office, which has oversight functions for the observance of the rule of law.
