The author examines the impact that the activities of GRECO (The Group of States against Corruption) have on the development of the anti-corruption legislation in the Russian Federation, in particular, on the amendment of norms that regulate legal immunities of prosecutors and investigators. The chronological analysis of GRECO recommendations and legal positions regarding the necessity of reducing the number of legal immunities in the sphere of criminal legal procedures for certain categories of people makes it possible to study the key stages of their introduction into the normative legal base of the Russian Federation. The author notes that GRECO standards and recommendations are, on the whole, a rather effective method of improving legislation and combating corruption; the author also presents positive examples of the impact they make on the emergence of new practical anti-corruption institutions in the Russian Federation. At the same time, the author believes that due to a number of factors (historical background, the practice of law enforcement) which influence specific issues, including legal immunities, the introduction of some GRECO initiatives in the legislation of the Russian Federation is premature. The key conclusion of the author is to support the international position of the Russian Federation regarding the absence of norms setting legal immunities of investigators and prosecutors as exemptions from the principle of equality before the law and the courts in Russian legislation. The practical and theoretical value of this research is that its clauses could be further used to work out more specific positions on disputable issues in the interaction between the Russian Federation and GRECO.
