The author of the article conducts a comparative analysis of the previous and existing criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine regarding the procedural institution of starting criminal proceedings. Certain gaps and inconsistencies in the current criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine on these issues which cause justifiable complaints from all participants in the criminal proceedings are identified. The author analyses genesis, individual scientific points of view and the state of discussion among scientists and practitioners in this direction, as a result of which it is established that the problematic issues raised in the article are not resolved theoretically and in an applied aspect, including the previous and in the current criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine. In &the context of the issue under consideration, the legislation of foreign countries is examined including post-Soviet states, Anglo-American and Roman-German legal families. As a result, many Ukrainian scientists have concluded that the foreign experi&ence cannot be applied in national legislation without taking into account the national peculiarities of the legal system of Ukraine, the historical traditions of state construction, the level of professionalism and legal awareness of those who apply& legislation, the mentality of the population and other factors. Moreover, the author pays paid attention to the study of discussion questions on the grounds and reasons for resolving the procedural problem of issuing a resolution when instituting cr&iminal proceedings and when making statements and reports on committed criminal offenses in to the single register of pre-trial investigations, as well as refusing to register on these issues. The author makes some suggestions for improving the exist&ing criminal procedural legislation and the regulatory framework in the context of the issues discussed.
