'''By administrative means''' (в административном порядке, "v administrativnom poryadke") was a term used in the [[Soviet Union]] when some actions which would normally require a court decision were left to the decision of executive bodies (administration), i.e. a form of [[extrajudicial punishment]].

In modern [[Russia]] there are concepts of [[:ru:административное правонарушение]], '''administrative process''', and [[:ru:административная ответственность]] - all governed by the [[Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses]]: {{ill|administrative offense|ru|Административное правонарушение}} is "an unlawful, guilty action (inaction) of an individual or legal entity for which this Code or the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on administrative offenses establishes {{ill|administrative liability|ru|Административная ответственность}}",<ref>[http://www.consultant.ru/popular/koap/ Кодекс Российской Федерации об административных правонарушениях]</ref><ref>{{wikisource-inline|ru:Кодекс РФ об административных правонарушениях|Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses}}</ref> and "by administrative means" refers to the application of the administrative process.

Concepts similar to "administrative process"  exist in other countries: [[:de:Verwaltungsverfahren]]  in Germany, [[:pl:Postępowanie administracyjne]] in Poland, etc.
