PAMELA A. JORDAN Crimina l Defense Advocacy in Russi a Unde r the 200 1 Criminal Procedur e Code In December 2001, th e State Duma adopted a new Criminal Pro cedure Code (CPC) of the Russian Federation, and it entered into force on Jul y 1, 2002.* The Code replaced the 1961 Crimina l Proce dure Code of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR), which continued to be enforced in Russia even after the USSR collapsed in 1991. By creating a new CPC in 2001, Russian legal reformers aimed to mak e the criminal process more democratic, improve access to justic e for average Russians, and strengthe n adver- sarialism. Some Western and Russian journalists argued that it marked the beginning of a judicial revolution, particularly in term s of the rights of the accused and defense attorneys. St. Petersburg huma n rights lawyer Iurii Schmidt noted that the code contains "democratic goals." Assistant Professor of History, University of Saskatchewan, Canada.
