Any society at a certain stage of its development uses corporal punishment as a natural method of regulating social life. What is nonsense for a modern person, was a norm for our ancestors, sometimes regardless of social group and material status. But in every state, one day there comes a moment when corporal punishment becomes inappropriate. This fundamental study, one of the best on the subject, reveals in detail the system of criminal and administrative law from Kievan Rus' to the beginning of the 20th century. For the most part omitting lengthy arguments about changing morals and ethics, the author considers issues related to the use of corporal punishment, torture and torture at different stages of Russian history, relying on an extensive source base - monographs, articles, legislative base. The publication is addressed to specialists and students of historical, legal, anthropological and cultural studies, as well as to all readers interested in history.
