Abstract

The free scientific russian thought was only possible in the emigration in the period of Bolshevism-Stalinism. The pre-revolutionary thinkers, if they did not oppose the royal power, were simply forgotten. Savalskii belongs to the last who at the beginning of his scientific search became the main researcher and critic of neokantianism studies. While working in the Warsaw university he investigated the problems of the state and law. The most attention was devoted to the theory of natural law. The scientist came to a conclusion that the oldest school in the science of law is the school of natural law. The supporters of this school were in all historical epochs. The opposite side is positivism. The natural law must be perceived as an idea of law, as a transcendental idea of law experience. According to the idealism, the essence of the law is not the force, not the power, not the interests, not the compulsion, but the freedom. In accordance to V. A. Savalski the law is not the part and continuation of nature, but it is the part of culture, social phenomenon.
