Introduction: the paper discusses some features of the techniques of interrogating foreign nationals participating in criminal proceedings as victims. The goal is to analyze the problems that arise in connection with the participation of foreigners in the investigation, and develop tactical and psychological and organizational and legal measures to minimize the negative impact on the investigation of problematic circumstances. Using the method of system analysis, various investigative situations were considered and the suggestions were made for organizing an investigation based on the example of questioning foreign nationals involved in criminal proceedings as victims. Conclusions: in practice, for the investigator and inquiry officer, the participation of a foreigner in the criminal process creates the need for additional organizational measures, the list of which, on the example of conducting an interrogation of the victim, is given in the paper. The effectiveness of the investigation of crimes involving foreign citizens will largely depend on the competence of the investigator in applying the provisions of the migration legislation of the Russian Federation. The conflict – free situation of interrogation of the injured foreign citizen and other investigative actions with his participation-more favorable for the investigator, as a rule, occurs only in the case of the legal status of a foreign citizen in the Russian Federation. The use of this algorithm of actions by the investigative bodies can guarantee the rights of foreign nationals involved in criminal proceedings as victims, protect their legitimate interests and conduct an effective investigation.
