Abstract
The problem of free will in law is a topic of inexhaustible scientifi c relevance, since the issue of free will of the current subject is the key to establishing the boundaries of the law and the limits of legal responsibility. The author of the article analyzes and summarizes the ideas of the classics of Russian law on subjective imputation and free will as a condition of legal responsibility. He found that as a result of a scientifi c discussion in the writings of pre-revolutionary Russian law researchers, a certain synthesis of ideas of determinism and indeterminism in legal science took place. The result of this was the emergence of the idea that external factors certainly affect human behavior, but do not completely determine it. Ultimately, the subject decides whether or not to commit an offense. Holding the subject to legal liability is possible only if his unlawful behavior has become an expression of a person’s will, that is, he is freely chosen without any external (coercion, violence) or internal (mental illness, impaired consciousness) obstacles that would prevent him from expressing his conscious attitude to the phenomena of reality.
