Abstract
The city law in Russian lands of the 13–15th centuries had unique features which are almost not studied in historical jurisprudence. In this article some features of relationship of city communities and rural the district in the context of an originality of the Russian national city law, its differences from the European analogs are designated. Rural districts was the object of operation for the Old Russian cities with which at first "tribute" gathered, later – the whole system of collecting, and in this sense the character of the relations of city and agricultural communities corresponded to feudal operation, but it is necessary to notice that this value of city community as collective feudal lord still is sufficiently not studied. Special attention is paid to coexistence of the whole system of the communities which were in various relations of dependence on the main city community, and members of which had different legal status. In general the conclusion is drawn that distribution of the power of Old Russian city community on the adjacent rural zone can be considered as distinctive feature of the Russian city law which does not find an analog in the European systems of the city law.
