APPLICATION OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN THE FORM OF DETENTION IN THE TERRITORY OF MODERN BELARUS (1917-2000)
The article reviews the criminal procedural legislation in force in the territory of the modern Republic of Belarus in the period from 1953 to 2000, in terms of the use of such a preventive measure as detention. During this period, modern Belarus was part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (until its collapse in 1991). At this time (1953-1991), the history of the USSR was marked as the “post-Stalin era”. Its peculiarity was the implementation of the liberalization of state policy, which was directly reflected in the criminal procedure legislation. At this stage of the historical development of Belarus, regulatory legal acts have been adopted that have influenced the formation of modern standards governing the detention of persons. In the prism of the application of this measure of criminal procedural coercion, the study made it possible to divide the period of time from 1953 to 2000 into two stages, each of which has its own characteristics.
