Annotation: The article analyses the directions of the development of copyright in the projects of the Civil Code of the USSR. The subject of the research is institutions of copyright in the projects of the Civil Code of the USSR of 1939 – 1951. Historical methodology for legal science is the main research method applied in these investigations. The research conducted in the article leads to the following conclusions. Firstly, the projects of the Civil Code of the USSR created the existing tradition of copyright relations at the level of codified acts. Secondly, a significant feature of regulating copyright relations in the projects of the Civil Code of the USSR was the use of predominantly mandatory norms. Thirdly, the main goal of regulating copyright relations in the projects of the Civil Code was to ensure a balance of personal and public interests. Fourthly, an important innovation of the projects of the Civil Code, which remain topical to the present day, was the establishment of a relationship between copyright and personal rights – the right to confidentiality of correspondence and the right to own image.
