Russian law in Poland after world war i
The article is devoted to the force of Russian law in Poland after World War I. The author points out the duality of Russian legal rules applicable in the Kingdom of Poland and in so-called Eastern lands. In the case of the latter, a Code of Laws was introduced in 1840 covering private law of a small part of Poland after World War II, i.e. until the unification of civil law in 1945-1946. The Russian Criminal Code of 1903, a.k.a. the Tagantsev Code, despite not being fully enforced in Russia, became the criminal law for the prevailing part of the Second Polish Republic until 1932 when a new criminal code came into effect.
