Abstract

The article examines the genesis of teaching Military Law disciplines in Russia. The beginning of the training of military lawyers was laid under Peter the Great with the introduction of auditor positions in the military, the first positions of legal importance. However, the creation of a system of military legal education took place in the second half of the 19th century and was associated with the creation of the Military Law Academy and the name of its chief, General of Infantry P. O. Bobrovsky, who initiated the training of military lawyers on a scientific basis. During the Soviet period, the training of military lawyers continued at the Military Law Academy of the Red Army, the Lenin Military Political Academy and the Military Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR. Currently, military lawyers are trained in Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky Military University. The teaching of the academic discipline “Military Law” was initiated in the 80s years of the last century, when it began to be taught in higher military educational institutions of a non-legal profile. Currently, there is a need to teach it to military lawyers as well.
