Abstract
The article examines the criminal law issues of protecting human life and health as an integral part of the history of criminal law, coupled with theoretical and historical legal sciences. The authors consider the types and content of illegal acts, expressed in causing harm to human life and health, criminalized in the customary law of the Don Cossacks. The use of customs to regulate criminal law relations is a universal practice for early feudal states, such as Ancient Russia, as well as regional - for the Russian Empire. As a result, the authors conclude that historical and legal methodology is widely used in the formation of modern criminal law and that legal reception from foreign legislation is of secondary importance. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that the history of criminal law is currently considered an integral part of the criminal law sciences.
