| Summary | The article, based on both published sources and archival documents, examines the conflicts of Soviet legal historians (B. I. Syromyatnikov, I. I. Kryltsov, I. I. Yakovkin, S. V. Yushkov, S. A. Pokrovsky) in the mid-1930s and early 1940s over the plagiarism problem. It is shown that the turn in politics in relation to history that took place in the middle of the 1930s in the USSR also affected jurisprudence, and in this connection it was necessary to strengthen the teaching of history of state and law in legal education. This required an urgent creation of textbooks on this subject. While creating books of this kind, some professionals in order to expedite the process resorted to incorrect borrowing from the works of their predecessors. This caused conflicts with those specialists for whom this was unacceptable. Due to the specifics of Soviet science during the Stalinist period, some of those caught in plagiarism were able to make political accusations against their opponents. Although ideological aspects did not remove the question of plagiarism, it was these aspects that often played a key role in determining the reputation of the scientist. | ||
