The article is devoted to studying the history of the issue of legal liability of doctors. It is noted that in Russia over the past 300 years, the legal regulation of doctors’ liability for negligent harm has undergone a number of multidirectional changes: first, the legalization of sanctions on the talion principle (XVII– XVIII centuries), then actual decriminalization (mid-XIX century), and then the transition to the practice of criminal prosecution on a general grounds (beginning of XX century).
