Archival collections

Summary/Abstract: The archival collection of Mstislav Vyacheslavovich Shakhmatov, a historian of Old Russian law and Russian emigrant, was transferred to the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences in spring 2023, comprising 34 boxes of records documenting his scientific, political, public, and personal life. Shakhmatov, who passed away in Prague in December 1943, left behind materials that offer a rich resource for studying the history of law and the phenomenon of Russian emigration in interwar Czechoslovakia. The collection is organized into six sections, including personal and official documents, correspondence with legal historians, documents from archeographic expeditions, literary works, scientific papers, and old Russian legal terminology cards.
