Summary:Background. The article examines the impact of Roman Law principles on contemporary Russian civil legislation. The authors analyze key legal institutions, such as principle of bona fides, easements (servitutes), contractural obligations (pacta sunt servanda), and inheritance law, tracing their continuity and adaption with the Russian legal framework. Special attention is given to the relevance of these institutions in the context of economic digitalization and the development of market relations. Materials and methods. The study is based on comparative legal, historical legal, and systematic methods, which allowed the authors to conduct a detailed analysis of the evolution of Roman legal norms and their reflection in the Civil code of the Russian Federation. The paper emphasizes the universality of Roman Law, which continues to serve as the foundation for modern legal constructs, despite its centuries – old history. The conducted research has revealed a significant influence of the norms of Roman law on modern Russian civil legislation. EDN: HUCVJE
