Abstract

This article analyzes the phenomenon of socialization of justice, its ideological and historical origins, as well as the state of affairs with the administration of justice in the modern Russian Federation. The analysis of the development of the civil process traces the reasons for the transition in the states of continental Europe during the 20th century from a liberal to a social type of process, which aimed to compensate for the actual inequality of the parties due to the active role of the court. The main features of the social type of the process are highlighted and its correlation with the investigative (investigative) process is determined. Using the example of domestic legislation, the transition from the liberal model of the Charter of Civil Procedure of 1864 to the social model of the civil procedure codes of the RSFSR of 1923 and 1964 is demonstrated. The author’s point of view regarding the advantages and disadvantages of Soviet legislation is substantiated, its dual nature is demonstrated, which was associated with excessive activity of the court while maintaining fundamental adversarial and dispositive principles. In conclusion, the author identifies the legal grounds for the socialization of justice in the Russian Federation. Based on the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, procedural legislation and the legal positions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, it is argued and proved that a number of institutions of Russian law reproduce the logic of socialization of civil procedure. It is noted that the need to establish objective truth in the process determines the need to abandon the liberal model, which does not correspond to the experience of leading European states.
