Abstract

The article examines the most fundamental achievements of Russian political, legal and philosophical and legal thought, which are universal in nature, from the axiological and civilizational positions. The doctrines of Slavophilism, Russian pre-revolutionary liberals and conservatives, scientists and thinkers of the Soviet and present times contain many guesses and insights, some of which were embodied in the practice of state and legal construction. In general, they can be assessed as the captured experience of national state and legal self-awareness of the state-forming people, which constitutes the spiritual basis of Russia – the state of civilization.

This publication traces the idea of the need to restore the interrupted continuity of Russian legal thought, a careful attitude towards it, overcoming blind imitation or direct copying of Western legal ideas, as well as constructing theoretical and practical projects of modern legal ideology on the basis of domestic philosophical and legal ideas, improving the institutions of the legal system and institutions of Russia – the state of civilization.
