Abstract

Proving in criminal cases, deservedly recognized as the core of the criminal process, was the sphere of increased attention of Professor S.A. Sheifer. His well-argued views on the concept and significance of evidence, the purpose and content of evidence constitute a significant legacy of the science of the domestic criminal process, which deserves careful analysis by contemporaries and future generations of lawyers. In this article, S.A. Sakharov retains its topicality and development. In the last years of his life, Sheifer presented ideas about the essence of evidence, their properties, content and form, as well as elements of the process of proof, first of all collecting evidence and ways to implement it. Scientific judgments of Sheifer are especially valuable in that they are tested "for strength" in the conditions of competition of ideas in the theory of evidence, the permanent change in the criminal procedural legislation and the ongoing search for a model of the criminal process more appropriate to the modern era of Russian statehood.
