The article examines the understanding of feudal land ownership as a fundamental institution of a feudal society. Drawing on the results of medieval studies in Russia we indicate the specific features of feudal property necessary for the retention by students. On this basis we provide the general definition of the bourgeois agrarian revolution and identify its different types. Finally, we consider the presence of classical signs of feudal property relations in agrarian Russia till 1861.

A brief course of lectures (introduction and three lectures) is dedicated to the social and economic history of France, as the main country of the medieval era. The course addresses issues of the genesis of the classic French feudalism. Special attention is paid to the problem of formation of the feudal land ownership from allodium and benefice to the hereditary feud (fief). The course interprets the feudal division causes and ways to overcome it, as well as the evolution of the socio-economic characteristics of the main classes of French feudal society, most of all the nobility and dependent peasants. Particular attention is paid to the economic policy of absolutism in France, which was reflected in the work of famous historical figures: King Henry IV, his first minister Maximilien Sully, the Cardinal de Richelieu, the Controller-General of Finances Jean-Baptiste Colbert.

The economic theory of Marxism is one of the fundamental trends that continue the classical tradition in economic science. Like any body of theoretical knowledge, the economic theory of Marxism cannot become outdated; it can only be discarded by managerial practice as unwanted. Practice shows that within modern management, situations increasingly arise that can only be explained adequately within the framework of classical political economy. The awakening of interest in the classical tradition, and accordingly, in Marx's economic theory, is due to the fact that it retains within itself the whole indispensable set of instruments for economic analysis of the state of the modern economy. Moreover, the basic positions of Marxism coincide in some cases with ultra-modern (institutional) concepts. Today, a return to the ideas of Marxism is possible only on several conditions: a) if this theoretical current is cleansed of accumulated vulgarisms and distortions; b) if there is a rethinking of outmoded positions that have been disproved by reality; c) if Marxist methodology is employed for analysing the present-day economy. This course of instruction is aimed at the study and assimilation of the theoretical bases of the classical, politico-economic school in economic science-Marxism.
