This volume contains the revisions up to August 15, 1999 to Parts One and Two, often referred to as the 'General Part', of the Russian Civil Code. William E. Butler's expert translation presents a clear interpretation of this vital text for all involved in Russian legal and commercial matters. As the Russian Civil Code is often the standard model for the other CIS states, amendments to this legislation are important to monitor.

Included are several biographical sketches of American, British and Russian jurists whose role have been neglected together with their texts of rare syllabi from the Soviet era that collectively configure the substance of international legal education from 1917 to 1991.

(Adoption and implementation of Part One of the Russian Ta...)
Adoption and implementation of Part One of the Russian Tax Code constitutes a significant step forward in the direction of reforming Russian tax legislation in the interests of a transition to a market economy. It is considered as the 'General Part' of the Tax Code, with the 'Special Part' yet to come. This expert translation by W.E. Butler contains amendments to the Tax Code current to 1 September 1999. In comparison with the chaotic body of legislation which this part of the Tax Code replaces, it is far more conceptual in character, subjecting the Russian Law of Taxation for the first time to the general principles and practices of the codification evident in the other principal branches of Russian law. The terminology of the Tax Code is also brought closer to the mainstream of Russian legal concepts. A glossary prepared on the basis of the Tax Code appears at the end of the volume.

Butler's expert translation contains the latest revisions up to August 15, 1999.
