Forest legislation of Peter the great: traditions and innovations
Summing up the overall result of Peter's activities in the field of forest legislation and forest protection, we quote the words of V.V. Chernykh: "Despite the complexity and inconsistency of regulatory legal acts, Peter's law-making played an important role in the development of forest protection legislation. Some of them were included in the Forest Charter of the Empire, adopted in 1802, and in other regulatory legal documents that operated on the territory of the Russian state"
