The Evolution of Ideas about the Subject as an Essential Condition of the Contract in Russian Law

Abstract

The article deals with the main stages of the development of ideas about the subject as an essential condition of the contract: pre-revolutionary, soviet and modern. The authors conclude that at all these stages the contract subject has always been a part of essential conditions but its content in the soviet era was determined by the planned acts, and in the pre-revolutionary and modern stages it is determined by the parties to the contract.
