The Russian Journal of Economics and Law originates from 2006, when the Rector of Institute of Economics, Management and Law (at present – Kazan Innovative University named after V. G. Timiryasov) Vitaliy Gaynullovich Timiryasov initiated the establishment of the Journal Actual Problems of Economics and Law (ISSN: 1993-047X; online-ISSN: 2410-2390). The Rector was the first Editor-in-Chief of the Journal. In 2015, Doctor of Law, Professor I. I. Bikeev became a new Editor-in-Chief of the Journal. In 2016, co-Editors-in-Chief were invited to join the Journal’s team: a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor, Doctor of Economics G. B. Kleyner and Doctor of Economics, Professor Yu. A. Tikhomirov; thus, the Journal’s status was enhanced and the edition attained a new impulse for development due to its active cooperation with the leading Russian research institutes and universities.

Since its first issues, the Journal became a site for scientific discussions of researchers and experts from Russia and foreign countries. The Journal’s specific feature is its focus on the most topical issues in the sphere of Economics and Law, with a special attention to the comprehensive phenomena of the modern world.
