【 摘 要 】

The authors try to bring coherence to terminology used in jurisprudence, especially through precise definitions for the terms « custom » and « customary law ». Relying on classical roman law and legal theory, they describe the evolution of theoretical approaches existing in this field in ancient and contemporary Russia. Russian scholars have generally agreed that these customs acquire a legal character only if they receive protection from the State. The article analyzes as well research proposing practical solutions of various cases which adopt the norms of customary law and while underlining the social nature of customary law.
