Zabeida, A.V. Problems of ensuring and protecting rights and freedoms and the very person of a juror in the Russian Federation.

Abstract: Being a juror in Russia is far less safe and advantageous, as it is in the US and the Western states. Russia lacks a clear juror protection system, and often the jurors do not get their financial compensation for their service. This article concerns the guarantees of independence and personal immunity of jurors, necessary security measures. Author analyzes new features of Russian legislation (such as Art. 298 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Slander on juror"), points out the blanks and gaps in the Russian legislation.
