The Appeal Window. Article No. 3. Agent of the Secret Police Department, R.V. Malinovsky Is Acquitted after 103 Years

In this publication, the author continues to review some results of studies on the Appeal Window subject , the basic aspects of which are the following statements: the court judgment appeal window is, firstly, a procedural institution, secondly, a physical value, and thirdly, a historical, psychological, social and philosophical category. It is stated that the duration of the appeal window (appeal in the broadest sense) is predetermined by a multitude of objective and subjective factors. This term directly depends on obvious and discreet goals of criminal proceedings, the level of our general and legal culture. Since all present matters are rooted in the past, in the third publication, the author firstly briefly covers the period of our history (1917 to 2001) when the analyzed institution was buried in oblivion. Secondly, the author is surprised that step-by-step appeal recovery (rehabilitation) (understood as lodging a complaint, verification and review of court rulings) has stretched for, in fact, 18 long years (from 2001 to 2019). Thirdly, it is stated that the legal mistakes of the past inevitably have to be corrected today.
