Fyodor Ivanovich Kozhevnikov (Russian: Фёдор Иванович Кожевников; 15 March 1903 – 22 March 1998) was a Soviet jurist and legal expert.
He wrote extensively about international law aspects in Russian history, and his writing supported Russian nationalist interpretation rather than Marxist–Leninist ideas. His main argument was that the Russian state, both in Tsarist times as well as under the Soviets, was the most progressive civilization in the field of international law.[citation needed]
