«ВЛИЯНИЕ МОМЕНТА БЕЗВОЗМЕЗДНОСТИ В ГРАЖДАНСКОМ ПРАВЕ»: К 100-ЛЕТИЮ СО ДНЯ ЗАЩИТЫ ДОКТОРСКОЙ ДИССЕРТАЦИИ А.А. СИМОЛИНЫМ
“INFLUENCE OF THE MOMENT OF GRATUITOUSNESS IN CIVIL LAW”: 100 YEARS SINCE DOCTORAL DISSERTATION DEFENSE BY A.A. SIMOLIN

Summary/Abstract: The year 2016 marks 100 years since Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Simolin (1879–1920) defended his doctoral dissertation. A.A. Simolin is the famous professor of Kazan University, who addressed the basic problem of modern civil law, i.e., onerousness and gratuitousness of civil legal relations. The above-mentioned dissertation is still relevant, because several clauses taken from it were embodied and developed in the modern Russian legislation and law-enforcement policy. A.A. Simolin’s dissertation was consigned to oblivion just after its publication and defense on October 23, 1916, which happened due to the political causes and revolutionary developments of that time. The interest in A.A. Simolin and his works has revived only in the last decade. “Influence of the Moment of Gratuitousness in Civil Law” is the unique and brilliant work of the legendary Kazan professor and the last pre-revolutionary head of the Department of Civil Law and Court Proceedings of Kazan Imperial University. The juridical society in Kazan and the Department of Civil Law of Kazan Federal University should currently strive for popularization of the ideas of predecessors (civil legal researchers) in order to improve and develop the modern dogmatics and legal regulation.
