Abstract
In spite of the vigorous hostility of Soviet writers towards “bourgeois” public policy and of their attempts to give this notion a Marxist interpretation, Soviet legal literature has always borne strong traces of the influence of Western scholars. It is no exaggeration to say that public policy in the Soviet doctrine is and has always been a reflexion of the developments taking place in the West. This way of legal thinking had been established by the very founders of Soviet private international law, Pereterskii, Krylov, Goikhbarg, etc., who either failed to create or consciously abstained from building up a general theory of public policy of their own (4). All of them limited themselves to adopting an attitude with regard to the dominating ideas of that time, of Brocher, Pillet, Bahr, Kahn and others, and to applying them to the Soviet legal system.
