Annotation: The introduction of Article 189.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation caused certain difficulties in conducting preliminary investigations, both from a procedural and tactical point of view. The article discusses problematic issues, the possibilities and expediency of conducting an initial interrogation and confrontation by using videoconferencing systems. The article analyzes the possible risks of losing the evidentiary value of testimony obtained during remote interrogation, as well as a possible increase in document flow, an increase in the number of subjects of investigation and a possible increase in the staff of internal affairs bodies. Attention is drawn to the lack of consensus among modern lawyers regarding the effectiveness of interrogation and confrontation through the use of videoconferencing. Special attention is paid to the organization and tactics of investigative actions through the use of videoconferencing with the participation of persons located in different time zones. According to the results of the study, it is proposed to make amendments to Article 189.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation.
