Life

Alexeev's father, Sergei Nikolayevich Alexejew, was a statistician and was arrested during the Stalin Purge in 1937 and sentenced to 10 years in a labor camp for belonging to a counter-revolutionary group . In 1947 the judgment was overturned for lack of a crime. Alexeev's mother Natalja Nikiforovna Alexejewa was a chemist in the Urals department of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) and vice dean of the metallurgical faculty of the Ural Industrial Institute .

Alexejew fought in the German-Soviet War from 1942 on the Volkhov , Leningrad , Karelian fronts and in the Arctic .

Alexei studied from 1945 at the Sverdlovsk Legal Institute (now the Ural University of Law ) with a degree in 1949. This was followed by an apprenticeship, after which he defended his candidate dissertation in 1952 on the acceptance of settlements between socialist organizations under Soviet private law . He then became an assistant there and began teaching. In 1954 he became a lecturer at the chair for private law. In 1960 he defended his doctoral thesis on Soviet socialist private law. In 1961 he became head of the Chair of State Theory and Law at the Sverdlovsk Legal Institute. In 1962 he was appointed professor .

In 1987 Alexejew was elected Corresponding Member of the AN-SSSR. In 1988, Alexeyev became the founding director of the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Urals Department of the AN-SSSR in Yekaterinburg . The perestroika became a focus of his work.

In the course of perestroika in 1989 Alexejew was elected as People's Deputy of the AN-SSSR and the scientific societies. By decision of the Congress of People's Deputies , he became a member of the Union Council of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR . He joined the Interregional Group of Deputies and became Chairman of the Committee on Legislation, Law and the Legal Order of the Supreme Soviet (1989–1990). In addition, he was chairman of the Committee for Constitutional Monitoring , which, among other things, abolished the reporting obligation and declared secret files null and void. On August 20, 1991, on Alexeyev's initiative, the committee declared the State Committee for the State of Emergency to be illegal. Likewise, in December 1991 the committee declared the Białowieża Declaration on the Dissolution of the Soviet Union to be illegal. However, the committee was soon de facto liquidated along with other social institutions .

In October 1991, Alexeev tried to found a research center for private law, which was then organized on behalf of Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev on the basis of the Committee for Constitutional Monitoring. By ukase Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin , it became the research center for private law under the President of the Russian Federation in July 1992, with Alexejew as council chairman (1991–1995).

At the end of 1991 Alexeyev became a member of a working group of the Russian Democratic Reform Movement in preparation for the project for the creation of a Russian constitution, which was publicly called Alternative Project. The basic ideas of Andrei Dmitrijewitsch Sakharov's project for a union of Soviet republics of Europe and Asia were also taken into account. When Alexejew was involved in the work for the presidential project for the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993, he made use of the preparatory work of the alternative project. However, the central ideas of the alternative project were not implemented in the final draft constitution. He is considered to be one of the authors of the Constitution of the Russian Federation alongside Anatoly Alexandrowitsch Sobchak , Leonid Solomonowitsch Mamut and Sergei Michailowitsch Schachrai . In 1993 Alexejew became a member of the Presidential Council and then a member of the Human Rights Commission of the President of the Russian Federation. After the outbreak of the First Chechen War , he gave up these offices in 1995.

Alexeyev returned to Yekaterinburg and devoted himself entirely to his research and teaching activities. He headed the Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Urals Department of RAN and wrote a number of new textbooks and teaching aids for students and pupils. In 2000 Alexejew was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Paris XII . His diverse scientific publications led to the h-index = 62.

Alexejew was married to the lawyer Soja Mikhailovna Alexejewa, with whom he had two daughters. Nadezhda became a cardiologist and Irina a linguist . Of the five grandchildren, Jekaterina is a cardiologist and the only heart surgeon in St. Petersburg, while Anna is a lawyer and Alexei trains the ski cross team.

In 2016, the S.-S. Alexeyev Museum was opened in Yekaterinburg. The Moscow Research Center for Private Law under the President of the Russian Federation became the College of Private Law in 1994 and now bears Alexeyev's name.
