Minnikes, I.V. The typology of the public contracts in the Russian state (IX – XV centuries).

Abstract: In many modern studies the attention is paid to the wider scope of application of contractual principles in the public law sphere. This problem seems new to the Russian jurisprudence. However, Russia has a great experience in the sphere of application of contracts to the public sphere. In the Ancient Russian state the contract, along with the custom, was an important mechanism of regulation of social relations, and its sphere of application was no narrower than the sphere of application of normative acts. This article is devoted to the typology of the public contracts in Russia in IX – X centuries.
