In the activity of Rishelievskiy lyceum and Novorossiyskiy University an outstanding role was played by scientists specializing in criminal law and judicial system studies.  In the juridical faculty, which was reestablished in 1947, existed a criminal law specialization (furkation), the main task of which was to educate highly qualified specialists for law-enforcement authorities.

The development of criminal law specialization revived in 1967 along with arrival of a world-renowned eminent professor Kolmakov V.P.. He has been working at the faculty for six years, and after this period, the faculty has significantly enlarged and was joined by young scientists and specialists practitioners.

Kolmakov V.P. was not only a great scientist, but also an outstanding organizer, and he managed to recommence an internal educational department of the faculty.

Bagriy-Shahmatov) was responsible for graduation of students with criminal law specialization.
