Abstract
The article is devoted to the concept of power of the professor of the Imperial Novorossiysk University Pyotr Evgenievich Kazansky (1866–1947), described in the capital study “The Power of the All-Russian Emperor. Essays on the Current Russian Law” (Odessa, 1913).
This study was devoted to the supreme power, which, under any political principle, always exists alone in the state. The study deals with the supreme state power, its manifestations in various areas of public administration during the Duma monarchy. The book is devoted to the tradition of Russian state power, the clarification of its historical place in society and the state and its power activities. Professor P.E. Kazansky claims that the emperor possessed not only executive, legislative or judicial power, but also the Supreme Power of the Empire, which directed the activities of all subordinate departments.
