The issue of the prosecutor's position in criminal proceedings has always been one of the controversial issues, which is associated with changes in criminal proceedings in various historical periods of the development of our legislation. With the adoption of the Constitution in 1993, despite the fact that the provisions on the court and the prosecutor's office were combined into one chapter, the independence of the courts was proclaimed, the norms on the prosecutor's appeal of illegal and unfounded decisions, sentences, decisions, and court orders were transferred from the Soviet Law on the "Prosecutor's Office" to the current act. The purpose of the study is to study the activities of public prosecutors in criminal proceedings when courts consider cases at first instance, to identify and analyze the problems that arise when supporting the state prosecution and to put forward specific proposals for their resolution. Subject of the study: legal norms regulating the issues of the prosecutor's participation in the consideration of criminal cases by courts of first instance, as well as theoretical works devoted to this issue. Research methods: the methodological basis of the research is the dialectical method of scientific knowledge, analytical, comparative legal, statistical and sociological methods, the method of legal modeling. Main results of the research: a special role should be given to the preparation of the prosecutor for the trial. In this regard, it is necessary to create conditions for this - to establish a minimum period before the start of the trial, during which the prosecutor must be instructed to maintain the prosecution. It was revealed that the current criminal procedure law contains an indication of the possibility of maintaining the prosecution by several state prosecutors, but there is no concept of a group of state prosecutors, legal regulation of the activities of such a group.
