Abstract

Comparative studies of ancient Slavic law conducted by a Belarusian scientist, a specialist in the field of state history and legislation of the Middle Ages, V.I. Ermolovich, are considered. The importance of analyzing the Asia Minor theory of the emergence of the legal, ethnic and state prehistory of the Serbian people, updated by this researcher, is substantiated. The role of the reception of Roman law in the development of civil relations between the archaic powers of the Nemanichs, Rurikovich, the kingdoms of the Czech Republic and Poland, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Russian and Zhmud and other medieval Slavic states is confirmed. The importance of V.I. Ermolovich’s scientific discoveries on the use of the construction of a legal entity and a bank deposit agreement in Ancient Slavic legislation is proved. A point of view is formed on the gradation of types of feudal property in the Slavic lands: thus, along with state, communal and private feudal property, the foreign property is analyzed. The collegians – trade unions of merchants of the Dalmatian coast as prototypes of future joint-stock companies are specially studied. It is concluded that V.I. Ermolovich made not only a significant contribution to the study of historical and legal problems of legal Slavistics and Medieval studies, but also outlined the vector of future research on the genesis of statehood and the legal system of the Slavic peoples.
