HISTORY OF RUSSIAN LAW IN HIGHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
OF EMIGRATION IN PRAGUE AND BERLIN IN THE 1920S

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of teaching one of the most important academic disciplines in the training of a lawyer — the history of Russian law in educational institutions of the Russian emigration of the first wave. The level of teaching the history of Russian law in pre-revolutionary Russia by 1917 is assessed. It is shown that in the conditions of emigration, the teaching of this discipline and the training of scientific personnel in it could be organized only in Russian higher educational institutions in Harbin, Paris, Prague and Berlin. The work carried out at the Russian Faculty of Law in Prague (Czechoslovakia) and at the Russian Scientific Institute in Berlin (Germany) in 1920 is analyzed. The desire of the founders of these educational and scientific institutions to organize teaching according to Russian pre-revolutionary university charters ran into a personnel problem, when a number of disciplines, including the history of Russian law, were forced to be taught not by lawyers, but by historians. A comparison of teaching systems is carried out, it is concluded that only in Prague it was possible to implement a full-fledged higher legal education. The activities of G.V. Vernadsky, M.V. Shakhmatov, I.A. Stratonov, who taught the history of Russian law, are characterized. The article was written, among other things, on the basis of materials from foreign archives.
