The article is devoted to the means of non-verbal communication and their use by the subject of an investigation in the process of identifying circumstances to prove in a criminal case. It is established that such means include physical contact, spatial orientation and distance among communicants, their appearance, position or posture, facial expression, gestures, glance of the subjects of communication, etc. It is concluded that competent, thoughtful use of the listed means contributes to the rapid establishment of a strong psychological contact, encouraging the interrogated person to share information important for the investigation. It is determined that the subject of an investigation must be able not only "to read" (= to understand) other people's non-verbal communication markers, but also demonstrate their own ones, inspiring confidence among other participants in the criminal process. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that mastery of non-verbal communication contributes to the professional promotion of the subject of an investigation and should be considered not as an independent, optional element, but as a necessary part of a unified, holistic approach to identify all the circum-stances of a criminal case. This comprehensive approach provides additional opportunities for the investigation process and ultimately ensures the speedy achievement of the goals of criminal proceedings.
