The article is devoted to the study of the structure of
the apparatus of propaganda of the Volunteer army
and Armed forces of South Russia under the
command of General M. V. Alekseev, as well as the
changes implemented in this structure by generals A.
I. Denikin and P. N. Wrangell. We have highlighted
the high importance of an effective propaganda
mechanism during the civil war and iIndicated the
reasons why the propaganda machine on the "White
South" lost the efficiency of similar structures of the
Bolsheviks. We considered such reasons as the
absence in the Volunteer army powerful single
ideology, as the basis for further indoctrination, the
Bolsheviks significant advantage in material and
technical equipment and production capacity, and
advantage in time, as the propaganda machine of the
Bolsheviks began to form several years before the
outbreak of the civil war. The article reveals the
formation process of the news propaganda of the
Department of diplomatic division and its subsequent
reformation in the Publicity Agency (Oswag) of the
Chairman of a Special meeting. We have also
touched upon the dissolution of Osweg at P. N.
Wrangel and the establishment of a number of
departments executing its functions. It is concluded,
that the changes in the structure of the propaganda of
anti-Bolshevik movement in South Russia, were
excessively complicated and mostly formal in nature,
they did not solve existing problems, but only
created new ones. It is noted, that the main task of all
transformations in the apparatus of propaganda, i.e.
to overcome the significant advantages of the
propagandists of Bolshevism, was not achieved as a
result of the considered structural reforms

This article discusses the organizational and tactical
features of the aircraft accident site examination. For
successful solution of the problems which the
investigator faces: for a quick and thorough crime
detection, exposure of guilty persons and their fair
sentencing, the investigator should clearly understand
what circumstances are to be ascertained and proved in
a particular case. The aircraft accident site examination
is primary and necessary investigative activity.
Success of the investigation of aircraft accidents,
which are often accompanied by human deaths,
depends on the efficient accident site examination.
Very often, seemingly identical situations are
generated by different causes and require an individual
approach. To choose the best way of discovering past
events the investigator should consider the
organizational and tactical features in the course of
crime scene examination. To carry out the efficient
accident site examination, experts in the field of
aeronautical engineering, a forensic expert or a doctor
as well as a specialist of forensic units for the
production of photo and video at the crash site should
be involved. It is necessary to fix and remove the
traces and other evidence, and the obtained data must
be recorded in the accident site examination report

The author in this article points out that, in the current
conditions of the development of scientific and
technical means, differentiation of individual expert
studies into independent types or subspecies of
forensic examinations is observed. Mutual penetration
of special knowledge and solving related issues by
attracting specialists from various fields leads to the
integration of scientific knowledge. In such conditions,
the guarantee of professional expert research is the
specialization of the forensic expert on specific types
of forensic examinations and the continuous
improvement of his qualification in a particular
specialty in accordance with the development of
scientific and methodological achievements in this
field. To achieve this goal, the EFU system of the
Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia currently
provides the following: 1) training in higher
educational institutions of the Ministry of the Interior
of Russia on the specialty "Forensic examination"; 2)
an internship, which takes place under the supervision
of a mentor with subsequent certification for the right
to self-produce expert examinations. However, despite
this, the EFU of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
system has a number of problems, caused by the
following reasons: a reduction in the number of staff
members of the EFU associated with the overall
reorganization of MIA. 2) increase and differentiation
of the workload of staff members in managerial and
expert positions due to an increase in the number of
databases of forensic accounts and the emergence of
an additional burden. 3) weak material and technical
support for territorial EFU. These problems, in the
opinion of the author, are common to the whole
system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the
Russian Federation and require their solution by
improving the quality of work of staff members and
taking organizational and financial measures
