CODIFYING RUSSIAN LAW 345SOURCESTtle present chapter is based primarily on secondary works, as an exhaustive
analysis of the primary sources is beyond the competence of the present writer (it
is the task of a jurist and specialist in the history of law). For this reason, the
bibliography has no claim to exhaustive completeness. It cites only those works that
were of major help in the compilation of the present chapter.
