Warsaw, 1894. - 74 s. Leontovich, Fedor Ivanovich - historian of law (1833 - 1911). After completing a course at the Kiev University in the Faculty of Law, he received a master's degree for "Historical study of the rights of Lithuanian-Russian Jews" (Kiev, 1863), a doctor's degree for his thesis: "Ancient Croatian-Dalmatian legislation" (Odessa, 1868). He was a professor of the history of Russian law at Novorossiysk, then at the University of Warsaw, where he held the chair until 1903. In two articles published in the Journal of the Ministry of National Education, 1867, No. 4, and 1874, No. 6 and 7, Leontovich came up with a theory of the envious communal character of the political life of ancient Russia and, among other things, argued that the verve of Russian Truth should mean the family community. Most of Leontovich's works are devoted to ancient Slavic and especially Lithuanian-Russian law; in this latter area he occupies a prominent place. Less successful were his experiments in explaining Tatar influences on the structure and law of the Moscow State; in scholarly criticism they met with serious rebuff. Two of his experiences processing the history of Russian law at the very beginning stopped. His bibliography on the history of Russian law is very useful. List of his works in the "Notes of the Society of History, Philology and Law at the University of Warsaw" (issue IV, 1908). - Wed. his obituary in st. About. In. Taranovsky ("Legal Notes", 1911, No 1) . The book offered to the reader provides an overview of the sources of Russian-Lithuanian law, as well as a detailed analysis of such sources of law as treaties and land and regional privileges.
