Holidays of Russia - Day of formation of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation

Any high-profile case that involves the initiation of a criminal case cannot be done without the participation of employees of a serious structure - the Investigative Committee of Russia On January 15, this organization celebrates its day This holiday first appeared on December 28, 2010 through the introduction of a corresponding legislative act And it was put into effect the very next month - January 15, 2011 Thus, the list of state celebratory dates has been supplemented with a new significant event The investigative group specializes in investigating serious crimes against the person, freedom, honor and dignity of a person This also includes illegal acts committed by minors, etc In the history of Russia, for the first time, the separation of an investigative institution from other state systems occurred during the reign of Peter the Great He introduced a special reform, according to which the criminal process was divided into two stages: the investigation itself and the subsequent hearing in court In 1713, the first investigative organizations were formed in the state in the form of major offices, subordinate to the emperor himself They were involved in the investigation of especially serious crimes, in particular actions that infringed on the principles of state power: taking bribes, robbing the treasury, entering deliberately false information into official documents, fraudulent actions for selfish purposes, etc After the death of Peter the Great, independent investigative organizations were liquidated, and the preliminary investigation began to be defined as a standard pre-trial process In the period from 1723 to 1860, the investigation of crimes was the responsibility of non-specialized committees: a police chief institution, a detective order, a judicial administrative body, etc Thus, an administrative form of organization of the investigative system arose in the country In the 19th century, the disadvantages of this model began to appear The key drawback was the rapid growth of corruption During the reforms of 1860, Emperor Alexander II began to look for other options for organizing a preliminary investigation As a result, the investigative committee was removed from the police and transferred to the courts This model, invented by Alexander II, subsequently served as the basis for the military investigative apparatus Until recently, it was mainly men who served in the investigative structure And this trend was easily explained, because this profession is very complex and difficult Every day, employees have to deal with criminal cases full of unpleasant moments In addition, they often disappear at work for whole days However, in recent years, representatives of the fair sex are increasingly being chosen to become investigators On this holiday, heartily congratulate relatives, friends or just acquaintances who are performing their official duties within the framework of investigative structures
