In this paper, we examine the problem of truth in criminal proceedings and consider the correlation of truth in criminal proceedings with the purpose and the evidentiary fact. The aim of the study is to show that the truth, as well as facts (including those on which history is based), is nothing but an artificial construct created by man and related to man's activities in the interest of the state. It is concluded that the main feature of truth in the course of proving in a criminal procedure should be its value for protecting man, society and the state in the fight against crime. The author argues that the truth must be a legal requirement of reality rather than a property of reality.
