Krotkova, N.V. The problem of separation of powers in the views of S.A. Kotlyarevsky on law and state

Abstract: In Russian and foreign scientific works and journalism of late XIX – early XX century the principle of separation of powers was subject to dogmatization and ideologization at the same time. However, the well-known liberal thinker S.A. Kotlyarevsky (1873-1939) managed to both find the national angle to this general idea and to view the principle of separation of powers objectively from a historical perspective, distinguishing it from current political demands.
