The causes and consequences of the emergence of a new interpretation of the legal standard of “reasonable suspicion”, which is given by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in its resolution of 24 May 2016 No. 23 are analyzed in the article. The arguments in favor of introducing the institution of investigative judges and the assimilation of standards of proof (validity) of the criminal procedure decisions taken in advanced criminal procedure systems by the doctrine of law of evidence are given. The author supports his conclusions with references to the international legal standards of reasonable suspicion, fixed in the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, as well as the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.
