From the point of view of the doctrine of criminal procedure law, an assessment is made of the legality, validity and motivation of a particular sentence. Taking into account the positions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the European Court of Human Rights, it is substantiated that the description of an act in a court sentence must be so detailed and specific as to clearly and definitely confirm the inseparable connection of factual circumstances and legal conclusions; when substantiating accusatory dedications, only the information that has accusatory content and is evidence must be disclosed, and the information that contradicts the accusatory proof must be refuted.
