Russia and the Law of Nations in Historical Perspective

The origins and development of Russian law and of state practice in developing the law of nations, mostly with a Russian dimension are explored in 35 articles and reviews revised for this volume. Included are several biographical sketches of American, British and Russian jurists whose role have been neglected together with their texts of rare syllabi from the Soviet era that collectively configure the substance of international legal education from 1917 to 1991.
