The main theme of XIII St. Petersburg International Legal Forum taking place this week in St. Petersburg is ‘Law: Lessons of the Past for the World of the Future’. 

In connection with this event, the official media of Russian Federation “Russian Newspaper” published an article by Evgeny Karnoukhov, Managing Partner of Alliance Legal Consulting Group. The article is devoted to the company's charitable initiative - the creation of an animated course ‘Russia - Law Through the Ages’, which tells about the evolution of the Russian legal system. 

Especially valuable is the opportunity for direct and open dialogue on key issues of state and law development not only in the professional legal community, but also among civil society, whose representatives are acutely aware of the turbulence taking place in the legal field. 

‘We have set ourselves the task of showing the history of the formation and development of Russian law through the connection of historical epochs in an easy and accessible language.’  

This year's forum is again being held amid global changes in international law and an unprecedented test of the strength of national legal systems. 

‘Law is not an abstraction. It is the ‘nervous system’ of society. And the better we understand it, the more resilient we can be in a changing world.’ 

*The course, developed jointly with the Synchronisation platform and  Moscow State Legal Academy (MSALA), offers an accessible view of the evolution of the Russian legal system, showing how it has evolved with the country and how it continues to influence our lives today. From ancient Russian legal customs to digital contracts in a mobile app, this is a story that continues right now.
