The Code, adopted in parts from 1994 to 2006, replaced the Soviet-era civil legislation and introduced a market-oriented framework. The general principles of Russian tort law are supplemented by federal statutes, including the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance (OSAGO, 2002), and by interpretative resolutions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.</p>
