Abstract:
Abstract: The responsibilities of the police are considered as provided for in the second chapter of the draft Police Charter, developed by the commission of Senator A.A. Makarova (1906-1913). They were aimed at ensuring order and decorum during various religious events held in churches, houses of worship, as well as areas adjacent to them. The features of such activities during religious processions, religious processions, pilgrimages, meetings and seeing off holy icons and other religious celebrations, as well as observations of bell ringing as a means of notifying believers are shown. A significant place is given to comparison with the norms of the Charter for the Prevention and Suppression of Crimes of 1882, the Criminal Code of 1903, the Italian law of December 23, 1888 on public safety, agreed with the criminal code of January 1, 1890, the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On the Police”.
