Abstract
The Russian liberal emigration to Paris after 1917 loomed up an interesting case study. The relationship with France delineated both a kind of libertarian alter-ego, with which the Russian liberal exponents were confronted, as the main geographical landing place of the search for liberty inside and outside of the Russian empire prey of Bolshevism. Although Paris was the context in which the original liberal dissent broke out, through the split of the Constitutional-Democratic Party, in the background of the end of the First World War, a certain emigration of jurists from Imperial Russia had the opportunity to take part, together with French jurists in Paris, in the urgent emergence of a proto-humanitarian law and in the debate over the organisation of peaceful coexistence between states that would be more fully developed only after the Second World War. French-Russian jurists realised an unexpected harmony through the principle of the integrity of the person and in a broader sense the safeguarding of the weak.
