APRIL LAWS OF THE EMPIRE AND RSFSR 300, 200 AND 100 YEARS AGO
A brief description of the laws adopted in the Russian Empire and in the Soviet state in one month (April) 300, 200 and 100 years ago, that is, in April 1722, 1822 and 1922, is presented. When choosing an object of study, priority is based on round dates. And although this approach is reproached to a certain extent, nevertheless, it allows us to better understand the trends in the development of Russian legislation. The priorities in the legislative activity of the monarchical and Soviet state in this case differed: for example, if in the Empire attention was focused on issues of public administration, then in the RSFSR it was on economic and financial relations. The sources of legal acts were the first Complete Collection of Laws of the Russian Empire, as well as the Collection of Legalizations of the Soviet Government.
