Anisimov, I.I. On the issue of political and legal views of A.Y. Vyshinskiy.

Abstract: As the author points out, A.Y. Vyshinsky is regarded as a quite an original thinker in the history of political and legal thought of Russia. He is an apologist of Communist teaching. However, while his views in some part had nothing in common with the previous tradition of Russian thinking, Vyshinsky could not fully free himself from the infl uence of traditions and ideals of political and legal thought of Russia.
