). Interuniversity Scientific and Practical Conference “Traditional spiritual and moral values as the basis of legal development in the XXI century”

The material of the Interuniversity Scientific and Practical Conference “Traditional spiritual and moral values as the basis of legal development in the XXI century”, held at the Faculty of Law of Lomonosov Moscow State University, is presented. An attempt is made to show the connection between the values of the people (including the Russian people) and its political and legal institutions. In particular, it is noted that the concept of spirituality includes public consciousness, is permeated with value imperatives (religious, ethical, political, aesthetic). It is pointed out that, although every ethnic group has its own value imperatives, not every one of them was able to create a state. It is argued that the spirituality of the Russian people has become the basis of a thousand-year statehood – one of the greatest in world history.
