Russian school of International law played a pivotal role in the formation of the international legal order and the science of the contemporary international law. Underestimation of the doctrine of international law of professor F.F.Martens accompanied the history of international relations and international legal foundations of the modern world. The legacy of the school of professor F.F.Martens, the greatest lawyer and the talented diplomat of Russia, can be perceived as a legal instrument to resist the today’s issues of international law fragmentation, legal nihilism and marginalization of the role of international legal norms in international relations.
