Abstract

The influence of legal scholars of Kazan University on the formation and development of the economy of the Republic of Tatarstan was studied. It was revealed that Kazan University played a key role in the theoretical and ideological justification for creation of the TASSR and the Republic of Tatarstan. As a leading higher educational institution of the former Russian Empire, it helped to quickly and effectively solve the problem of training managerial personnel of the Republic of Tatarstan. For example, the Faculty of Law, with the Department of Civil Law in particular, has been training highly qualified legal specialists for many years. In addition, legal scholars of Kazan University contributed significantly to development of the national economy of the region through their research: in the 1960s–1980s, collective farm and agricultural law was one of the most advanced areas of civil law in Kazan, which promoted the development of agriculture in the region. Nowadays, the Republic of Tatarstan is among the most economically developed regions of Russia, which is, in many ways, an important achievement of legal scholars of Kazan University, who carry out their research and training based on the extensive experience built up for many years and in full compliance with the requirements of the modern market.
