In the article, the author also comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to systematize
the rules of proof and evidence currently enshrined in the procedural codes. In the chapter
of the procedural codes regulating the institution of proof and evidence, it is proposed to
fix paragraphs devoted to general provisions on evidence, evidentiary activities of persons
involved in the case, and means of evidence. In the general provisions, fix the basic categories:
evidence, the subject of proof and the mechanism for determining it, general and specific rules
for the distribution of responsibilities for proof, circumstances that are not subject to proof, etc.
The evidentiary activities of the persons involved in the case should be structured according to
the stages of the process (first instance, appeal), and then according to the stages of proof. The
legal rules of evidence should be defined through general regulatory issues, the procedure for
collecting, presenting (disclosing), research and evaluation. As independent means of proof,
it is proposed to consolidate electronic evidence and establish a non-exhaustive list of means
of proof. The author comes to the conclusion that the above proposals would help to optimize
law enforcement in the first place, regardless of where they would be implemented by the
legislator either in the existing procedural codes, or in the existing Concept and subsequently
in the unified Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

Keywords: civil procedure; administrative proceedings; proof and evidence; systematization.
