Compensation function of rules of law is considered at various stages of formation and development of the Russian state and the Law. The legal norms in the Ancient Russian law which expressed compensation function are identified and analyzed. In the Ancient law the opportunity to protect economic as well as moral benefits was fixed. Standards of Russian Truth performed the compensatory function. In the study of the penal system of that period the elements of liability and compensation of non-pecuniary damage are identified. It is suggested that modern legal institutions of compensation for material and moral (non-property) damage originate from the earliest written records of the ancient Slavs. The improvement and strengthening of the compensation standard functions contained in the Code of Law in 1497 and 1550 are analyzed. There is a significant development of compensatory function in the rules the Conciliar Code of 1649. The author considers the further development of the compensation function of the law in connection with the adoption of the Law "On conscientious possession" 1851. The legislation of the Soviet state which was used exclusively for compensation for material damage is analyzed. There is a growing function of the compensation law in connection with its reform of 1990 and the construction of all branches of the law on the principle of full compensation for losses.
