Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of ways to reform the stage of completion of pre-trial proceedings in the Russian criminal process. The author analyzed proposals on the transfer to the prosecutor of powers to draw up the final document of pre-trial proceedings, the right to bring the accused to trial, and the separation of these activities of the prosecutor into a separate stage of the process. An appeal to the historical experience of legal regulation of controversial issues, an analysis of the norms of criminal procedure legislation of Kazakhstan make it possible to justify the conclusion: most of the proposals considered are premature. At the same time, the powers of the prosecutor at the end of pre-trial proceedings need to be expanded and specified.
