- The attitude of the state to physicians’ criminal behavior varied in different periods and depended on legal consciousness, religious views, moral and ethic standards, medical science successes. The institution of medical workers’ responsibility was developed and strongly pronounced during the reign of Peter the First who equated professional medical violations with the criminal ones. Medical doctor Statutes of 1857 was the striking positive example of successful codification of medical legislation.
