Abstract
The classical doctrine of the accusatory power of state found its development in the development of the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod law schools. This is the doctrine of how criminal activities should be organized by criminal procedural means. The article analyzes the peculiarities of the Samara doctrine of «accusatory-investigative power», the main exponent of which was Professor S.A. Sheifer. He contrasted the views of Nizhny Novgorod scholars on the prosecution authorities, which should be implemented in adversarial criminal proceedings. The authors of the article believe that the reform of preliminary investigation of the classical model of the accusatory authority is in the interests of progressive state and legal development. The prosecutor must formulate and file a charge (criminal action) in court, and the investigator must assist the prosecutor in obtaining evidence of the charge.
