The Perm Congress of Jurists is the main event for the legal community of the Kama region, as it provides the opportunity for professional communication at the highest level for all those who are in one way or another related to law. The forum has long become a reference point for practicing scientists and lawyers and therefore invariably attracts the most authoritative speakers, specializing in various areas of law.
Now the organizers of the congress could not ignore several commemorative events of this year: the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the 20th anniversary of the referendum on the formation of the Perm Territory, the 300th anniversary of Perm. This was emphasized by the governor of the Kama region, Dmitri Makhonin, during the opening of the forum.
“The Congress of Legal Scientists made October the month of jurisprudence, when the best minds of Perm discuss the most relevant and urgent issues,” he said. – The current congress is dedicated to national sovereignty, to the uniqueness of Russian federalism, and for us this is a more than relevant issue. We remember very well that the Constitution, the fundamental law of our country, is 30 years old. Furthermore, the region was precisely the driving force of change from the point of view of the administrative structure. I mean the formation of the Perm Territory through the unification of the Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug and the Perm Region; A referendum on this issue was held 20 years ago, which was the first experience of its kind in Russia. And, of course, we remember the date of the third round – the 300th anniversary of Perm, so the current congress is held within the framework of events dedicated to this memorable date.

He presented his new work “Condemned dreamers. Four provisional governments or why the revolution was inevitable.” He examines the period from February to October 1917, probably the least studied moment of the revolutionary era. Pavel Krasheninnikov decided to correct this historical injustice and, with the scrupulousness of a scientist, studied the rule of law at the stage of revolutionary uprisings.
According to the author, the period from February to October 1917 became one of the most tragic in the history of Russia, a time of collapse of the dream of a liberal and democratic society, the consequences of which are felt to this day. And the set of events of 1917-1922 made it possible to call this era with the broad and formidable phrase “The Great Russian Revolution.”
Pavel Krasheninnikov, speaking at the plenary session, noted that jurists who are actually engaged in all kinds of activities related to jurisprudence are represented at the congress.
“This includes science, education and the judicial process; there are colleagues from the Ministry of the Interior, investigative bodies, prosecutors, justice, federal and regional authorities,” said the chairman of the Duma committee. state. – It seems to me that it is very important that we exchange opinions and impressions, discuss some projects, find ways to solve certain problems.

– This is not the first year that I have participated in this forum and I think that, most likely, I belong to a very small group of people who have been participating in it almost since its inception. For me it has already become part of life. Over the years, various topics have been debated at the congress and are still being debated. But it should be noted that the general direction of the discussion is how numerous changes in the economy associated with digitalization, for example, affect life and law. It seems to me that our discussions really provide an opportunity to do something so useful, relevant and right now!
