The subject of comparative legal analysis in this work is the ambiguous norms of the criminal procedure law of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Tajikistan regarding the procedural status and real powers of the prosecutor to carry out the function of criminal prosecution at the stage of initiation of a criminal case. Analyzing the norms of the law, the positions of the national doctrine and directly the patterns of activity carried out at this stage, the author discusses the main problems, conflicts of practice, gaps in the law, suggesting measures to remove contradictions and optimize practice.
