Abstract

The article is devoted to the life and creative path of the outstanding Soviet lawyer, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, Doctor of legal sciences, Professor, long-term employee of the Institute of Law of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences) Anatoly Vasilyevich Venediktov (1887–1959), whose scientific ideas and concepts, in particular those concerning the right of ownership under socialism (state socialist property), the essence of a legal entity in Soviet law, organizational and legal aspects of economic activity of state enterprises, had a significant impact on the development of domestic legal thought and on the formation of Soviet civil and economic legislation. The ideas of A.V. Venediktov had a significant impact on the formation of scientific schools and trends in the USSR. They retain their significance today. The athours believe that this influence also concerns the formation of new institutions during the reform of legislation (which was clearly demonstrated during the discussion of issues of civil legislation reform in the 2010[6]). The life and work of A.V. Venediktov have been well studied, and, nevertheless, in the year of the 100[th] anniversary of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, given the close connection of A.V. Venediktov with the Institute (it was during his work at the Institute of Law of the USSR Academy of Sciences that A.V. Venediktov was elected an Academician), within the framework of the scientific project of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Russian Academy of Sciences: Outstanding Legal Scholars. 20[th] century” the authors consider it important to outline the main milestones in the biography and scientific ideas of Anatoly Vasilyevich Venediktov. In preparing the article, unique materials stored in the archive of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences were used, including the personal file of A.V. Venediktov.
