The analysis of the concept of a reasonable timeframe for court proceedings is a pressing issue in the current stage of the development of criminal procedure in Russia. Several international mechanisms for protecting individual rights in the sphere of criminal proceedings, including those for contesting reasonable timeframes, have been lost. The study employed general and specific scientific methods, such as dialectical, axiological, and synergetic approaches, as well as the theory of social action and modeling. Moreover, the application of methods of analysis and synthesis of information, comparative legal analysis, and formal legal approaches allowed the author to reach reliable conclusions. The research established that failure to adhere to reasonable timeframes for judicial decision-making violates the rights of individuals involved in criminal proceedings. Ensuring the protection of individuals’ rights and legitimate interests is only possible when reasonable time limits in criminal procedure are observed. Based on the provisions related to compensation for violations of the principle of reasonable timeframes during court proceedings, a conclusion was drawn regarding the essence of these provisions, which allows for an evaluation of the criteria of reasonableness outlined by the legislator and the identification of methods for their assessment.

The paper presents an analysis of the issue of domestic violence against women in Russia over the past decade. Practices of domestic violence contradict the goals of state family policy aimed at strengthening family values, promoting the appeal of family life, discouraging youth from entering into marriage, and undermining their reproductive intentions. The authors approached the problem of domestic violence comprehensively, presenting relevant facts, conducting an in-depth analysis of legislative acts, regulatory documents, and their application in the context of preventing and eradicating domestic deviations. The primary research method was the secondary analysis of data from open sources and Rosstat statistics. The review resulted in proposals for implementing measures to prevent domestic violence. The main approach to working with victims of violence should be based on interagency cooperation, while preventive activities should focus on addressing the perpetrators of violence.

The article analyzes the process of interaction between the militia and party administration in the Kaliningrad region during the post-war period. The study covers the time from the establishment of militia authorities in the region in 1946 to the completion of the deportation of the German population in 1948. The research primarily employs general scientific methods, such as analysis, synthesis, and induction. The relevance of the article is due to the need to study the specific features of the formation of the domestic law enforcement system. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that this issue is examined for the first time in the context of the post-war Kaliningrad region. The article also describes the process of forming party organizations in the Kaliningrad region and the ways in which party leadership influenced the militia. The author concludes that the strong influence of party leadership was due to the party’s leading role in the USSR.
