Resumo
The purpose of the article is to study the process of gradual withering away of the institution of corporal punishment in Russia of the XVIII century, which began with the cessation of the most barbaric variety of them - punishment by injury to a part of the body. The author shows that the main factor in the abolition of the practice of applying punishments by injury to a body part in the Russian Empire of the XVIII century was the awareness by the state itself of their inefficiency. Punishments by damaging a part of the body caused harm to the state itself, which needed soldiers’ and workers’ hands. Also an important role was played by the spread of the ideas of humanism of the New Age in the XVIII century.
