Abstract: The subject of this research is the legal regulation of execution of court decisions throughout the history of Russian law. The object of this research is the social relations established in realization of tasks in the process of executing judicial decisions in the Russian State in various historical periods. The author analyzes the formation and development of the Russian legislation, as well as peculiarities of legal regulation of execution of judicial decisions. Considering the significant changes in legal regulation of executing judicial decisions in different historical periods, associated with the adoption of fundamental legal amendments and reforms in the field of public relations, the author determines the stages of establishment and evolution of the legal regulation of executing judicial decisions. The original periodization of the establishment and development of legal regulation of executing judicial decisions is proposed in the article. The author believes that it is inappropriate to talk about the establishment and development of legal regulation of executing judicial decisions peculiarly in terms of coercion, because the voluntariness of executing judgments existed at all stages of legal regulation decision-making, but beginning in 1864, the procedure of voluntary execution of judicial decisions has received a detailed regulatory consolidation. The scientific consists in the fact that based in the fact that based on the analysis of a number of legal monuments and existing sources, the article provides a fairly complete picture of historical evolution of the procedures related to execution of judicial decisions in the Russian law.
