Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of protecting personal honor and dignity during the period of validity of the Dvina Charter (13971398). The text of the Charter explains that insult of nobility, which means a dismissive (negative) assessment of a person and personal behavior in relation to someone class affiliation made in verbal form or by certain actions, is under the criminal-legal prohibition. The purpose of the work is to show the essential features of corpus delicti in the field of insult of nobility containing in the Dvina Charter. This corpus is an important lever of criminal-legal protection of honor and dignity, with considering representation on acceptable form of negative assessment of a person, depending on his class affiliation. This theme is relevant due to the fact that honor and dignity are the values of human society and are inherent in man throughout the history of his existence. And it is appropriate to recall that the society in which we live is characterized by a deep moral crisis, in which these values seem to be pushed into the background, and the protection of these enduring values, based on the principles of humanism and the saving of criminal repression, is transferred to the plane of administrative offenses. It is possible to confirm the correctness of the approach, chosen by the legislator, comparing historical facts. So we consider the task of researching the theme on the criminal-legal protection of personal honor and dignity in the Dvina Charter is scientifically relevant.
