Abstract

The authors of the paper introduce to legal science such historical and legal documents as Pravda Volynskaya, Gramota of prince Ivan Rostislavich (“the Berladnik”). “Rukopisaniya” of prince Vladimir Vasil’kovich, Ustavnaya gramota of prince Mstislav Romanovich, which were previously subject to analysis only within the academic historical doctrine, but their legal content was not studied theoretically. Based on the analysis of these historical documents, against the background of the general historical process of the 12th-13th centuries of the Galicia-Volhynia principality, fascinating patterns and features of legal regulation of legal relations in medieval state formations of the Eastern Slavs of the 12th-13th centuries were revealed. The links of these legal acts with the provisions of Magdeburg law have been established, and the significance of their heritage for modern domestic law has been assessed. A symbiosis of legal norms characterizing medieval jurisprudence and combining the provisions of civil, hereditary, tax, labor and criminal branches of law in one documentary act is analyzed.
