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: administrative offense [ru] 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 administrative liability [ru]", ^[1][2] 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.
