V. Taranovsky. Consideration of this issue is directly related to the problem of restoring a complete picture of the academic culture of that time. This is due to the relevance of the stated topic, caused by permanent changes in legal, socio-economic, historical and cultural nature. The study is based on the analysis of a complex of written sources, including letters, telegrams and open letters of F. V. Taranovsky to the Dean of the Faculty of Law of the Yuriev University V. E. Grabar for the period from December 1907 to September 1909. The work is based on the principles of historicism and the value approach, highlighting individual phenomena of the past, which are of priority importance for the current stage of development of society as a whole and historical knowledge in particular. The main methods used in the process of working on this topic are comparative and biographical. The description of the presented material is based on a problemchronological approach. In the course of the conducted research, the procedure of the faculty election of a candidate for a vacant professorial chair was studied and described with its inherent specificity due to the provisions of the legislation of the Russian Empire, the established rules of local faculty consideration and discussion, as well as the personal characteristics of the elected and electing persons. The presented material and the conclusions drawn from the results of the study are not only a contribution to the consideration of one of the important aspects of the academic cultural tradition of pre-revolutionary Russia.
