V. I. Vasiliev as a Constitutional Law Scientist and Science Organizer

Vsevolod I. Vasiliev devoted himself to legal science, since 1950 (with interruptions) linking his scientific activity with the Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation (at that time — the All-Union Institute of Legal Sciences) and from 1989 to 1992 heading it as director. The works of V. I. Vasiliev on the subject of Russian constitutional and municipal law, in which the problems of electoral law and the main institutions of the organization of local self-government are thoroughly analyzed, have received the greatest fame. Taken together, the scientist's works represent a valuable contribution to legal science, reflecting his views on the theory and practice of the organization of public power. The conclusions formulated by V. I. Vasiliev and the arguments selected in justification will always serve as a source of knowledge, an example of fruitful work and dedication to science both for modern Russian jurists and for their future generations.
