Abstract
In this article, the results of a study that employed the systemic and formal logical methods, along with the normative reading of Russian procedural statutes, to investigate the substantive features of related procedural principles within Russian administrative proceedings are examined. The place of the principle of directness of trial proceedings both in the general system of legal principles and among the basic principles of administrative proceedings was clarified. In particular, as a legal principle, directness refers to a procedural obligation imposed on a trial court, but it manifests itself in other normative expressions through the actions performed by the subjects of administrative proceedings. Therefore, its legal effect extends far beyond the trial court and applies to all participants of administrative proceedings, regardless of their procedural status. Based on the analysis of the legislative norms and trends in Russian law enforcement practice, the substantive criteria of the principle of directness of trial in Russian administrative proceedings were formulated.
