5 The issue of “new law” was avoided in the 3–volume treatise by V. N. Durdenevskii and S. B. Krylov, published as the World War was finishing. See book review, 41 A.J.I.L. 481 (1947). The next study, written by F. I. Kozhevnikov, later to become a Judge of the International Court of Justice, also took no position on the subject. His colleague, Professor E. A. Korovin, took him to task for failing to take into consideration the new People’s Democracies. See Korovin, E. A., book review, 43 A.J.I.L. 387 (1949)Google Scholar. Kozhevnikov in a much rewritten second volume a year later concluded that Soviet relations with the People’s democracies were creating a new Socialist international law.

6 This theme pervaded Tunkin’s leading article in the first yearbook published by the Soviet Society of International Law as Soviet Yearbook of International Law, 1958 (Moscow, 1959).

A Western scholar has interpreted Tunkin’s position of 1959 as a contradiction of the opinions expressed a few months earlier in his Hague lectures.
