The Russian Prosecutor's Office was established on January 12, 1722, in accordance with the Edict of his Imperial Majesty of Peter the Great to the Directing Senate. The prosecutorial system of that time was headed by an Attorney General subordinate to the Emperor. The main purpose of the prosecutor's office was to supervise the observance of the law. The first person whom the Emperor appointed the Attorney General of the Senate was Count Pavel Yaguzhinsky.
Presently, the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation is an integrated federal centralized system of bodies maintaining supervision over compliance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the obeyance of laws, supervision over observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, criminal prosecution in accordance with its jurisdiction, and performing other functions.
