The public prosecutor''s office as a chrono-discrete Russian institution
The article aims to analyse the Russian public prosecutor's office from the standpoint of the methodology of chrono-discrete monogeographic comparative law. The author of the article makes an attempt to demonstrate that the public prosecutor's office is not just a chrono-discrete institution, but a non-classical chrono-discrete institute. The article reveals a number of specific features that distinguish the prosecutor's office from other chrono-discrete institutions. Attention is paid to the fact that not all aspects of the organisation and activities of the public prosecutor's office are comparable (the social composition of public prosecutors, their level of education, material security, etc.) due to the difference in socio-economic development and differences in the specific historical situations of the second half of the 19th and the early 20th centuries and the end of the 20th and the early 21st centuries. The article identifies promising directions for chrono-discrete research on the Russian public prosecutor's office. It proposes a program that can be used for chrono-discrete comparison of the institution of the public prosecutor's office in the Russian Empire and the Russian Federation. The author points out that such comparison is not only correct, but also has good prospects for improving the current Russian legislation on the public prosecutor's office.
