Using the comparative legal method, the author determined the essence of criminal procedural interrogation in the Russian legal system, from the early Russian state to the present day. The study covered the sources that involve the term interrogation or a synonymous concept. The legal regulation of interrogation gradually developed in several aspects. The communicative aspect included verbal and non-verbal transmission of relevant information. The interactive aspect covered the interaction between participants, their number, limits of psychological influence, etc. The perceptive aspect was registered when the legislator required a compulsory record of interrogee’s identity. Obviously, the interrogation has long developed as a formalized communication. As a result, the domestic legislator sees the essence of interrogation as a special type of formal communication, which affects the development of its procedural form. The obtained results help to develop a unified approach to the legal essence of interrogation and can be applied in the legislative practice of the criminal procedural form of interrogation.
