Zabeida, A.V. Some problems related to securing rights, freedoms and person of juror in the Russian Federation.

Author analyzes new features of Russian legislation (such as Art. 298 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Slander on juror”), points out the blanks and gaps in the Russian legislation. The article also contains the study of relevant experience of the USA, including the issues of guarantees of jurors’ security and US Marshals service.
