A Category of "Wrongdoing" in Legal and Theoretical Doctrines of Vladimir S. Solovyov

Abstract

The paper scrutinizes the emergence and development of a category "wrongdoing" in the doctrine of Vladimir S. Solovyov. The paper analyzes the formation of a pattern of a wrongful behavior in the primitive community in the context of the emergence of a blood feud. By the example of Russkaya Pravda, the author considers the interrelation between private law and public law foundations in the concept of "wrongdoing." Based on the analysis of main works by Vladimir S. Solovyev, the author draws a conclusion concerning the significance of his theoretical and legal beliefs for the legal science. In the author's view, thorough, scientifically grounded conclusions have certainly enriched not only the domestic legal and theoretical thought but also the world's theoretical and legal thought that examines the genesis, the current state and the ways for the further development of the category "wrongdoing."
