Myao Mayhua Comparative analysis of Chinese and Russian criminal procedural legislation in the sphere of protection of victim’s rights.

Abstract: When compared to the international standards the level of protection of victim’s rights in the criminal process in China is in clear need for improvement. It is partly due to the policy regarding protection of the accused and the punished, which existed for decades and decades. At the same time, the rights of the victims seemed second-rate, so the protection of victim is now less than protection of accused and punished. In the author’s opinion the situation in question calls for study of foreign experience, including the experience of the Russian Federation.
