Line 1: {{Short description\|Prime source of civil law for Russia}} The '''Russian Civil Code''' ({{lang-ru\|''Гражданский кодекс Российской Федерации''}}, frequently abbreviated ''ГК РФ'') is the prime source of [[civil code\|civil law]] for the [[Russian Federation]]. The Russian Civil Law system descended from Roman Law through Byzantine tradition. It was heavily influenced by German and Dutch norms in the 18th-19th centuries. Socialist-style modifications took place during the Soviet period (1922-1991) and Continental European Law influences since the 1990s.▼ {{Infobox legislation \|short_title = Civil Code of Russia \|legislature = [[Parliament of Russia]] \|image = File:Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation.svg \|imagesize = 150px \|imagealt = \|caption = \|long_title = \|citation = \|territorial_extent = [[Russia]] \|enacted_by = [[Parliament of Russia]] \|date_enacted = \|date_passed = \|enacted_by2 = \|date_enacted2 = \|date_passed2 = \|date_assented = \|date_signed = 1994 \|date_commenced = 1 January 1995 \|date_of_expiry = \|status = in force \|signed_by=[[President of Russia]] }} ▲The '''~~Russian~~ Civil Code of the Russian Federation''' ({{lang-ru\|''Гражданский кодекс Российской Федерации''}}, frequently abbreviated ''ГК РФ'') is the prime source of [[civil code\|civil law]] for the [[Russian Federation]]. The Russian Civil Law system descended from [[Roman Law]] through [[Byzantine law\|Byzantine]] tradition. It was heavily influenced by German and Dutch norms in the 18th- and 19th centuries. Socialist-style modifications took place during the Soviet period (~~1922-1991~~1922–1991) and Continental European Law influences since the 1990s. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation came into force in four parts. The first part, which deals with general provisions (i.e. defines sources, names [[Juristic person\|legal entities]] etc.) was enacted by the [[State Duma]] in 1994 and entered into force in 1995. The second part (dealing with the [[Law of obligations]]) entered into force in 1996. The third part ([[inheritance\|Succession law]]) entered into force in 2002. The document has certain basic principles: equality of all participants guaranteed by civil law, inviolability of private property, [[freedom of contract]], free exercise of civil rights and juridical protection of [[civil rights]]. Line 21 ⟶ 45: ==History== Since its foundation as an independent successor state of the former Soviet Union, the Russian Federation had been engaged in a large legislative project of developing a new Civil Code. In July 1994, President [[Boris Yeltsin]] signed a decree authorizing the "Establishment and Development of Private Law in Russia" program.<ref>{{Citation \|url=http://www.jurbase.ru/texts/sector162/tez62700.htm \|title=Указ Президента РФ от 7 июля 1994 г.

However, the Federation Council took longer than allowed by the [[Constitution of Russia\|Constitution]] to come to its decision. This allowed Yeltsin to sign the Code into law. In other words, as Sergei ~~Alekseev~~Alexeyev put it, the Civil Code became law almost "by accident".<ref name="alekseev interview"/> ==See also== Line 35 ⟶ 59: ==External links== Full text English translation of [http://www.russian-civil-code.com parts 1 to 3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation].
