Abstract: This article presents the theoretical-legal and political-ideological outlooks upon the problem of the value components existing in the current Russian legal system. The authors reveal the interconnection and interrelation of the sphere of positivism of legal values and ideological sphere of the functionality of Russia, analyzed in the context of complex socio-political transformations of the late XX – early XXI centuries. Taking into account the special aspects of the emergence of values in the course of goal-setting human understanding of reality, the authors trace the duality in the development of the legal axiosphere as a component of the legal system, which on one hand manifests in the space-time predeterminateness of a specific value construct, while on the other – in the processes of continuity and universalization of the legal values. The article reveals the theoretical problems of the legal axiology obstructing the holistic and unambiguous cognition of the value elements of the legal system. This work substantiates the presence of the axiological components not only at the stage of the actual establishment of law, but also within the entire mechanism of legal regulation.

Abstract: The given research is devoted to a rather-legal analysis of the basis of political rights of a person according to the Medieval Law of the cities of Ancient Russia (Novgorod and Pskov) and Western Europe in XI-XIV centuries. The problem of correlation of democratic institutions typical for the Russian and Western European societies is timely nowadays. The authors of the article perform a comparative analysis of the contents of the prototypes of political rights of the citizens that were fixed in the legal acts of the Russian and Western European cities in XI-XIV centuries. On the ground of using the methods of comparative analysis, context analysis, historical and legal, systematic and historical, technical and other methods of scientific research, the authors make a conclusion that the development of legal rights in Novgorod, Pskov and the cities of Western Europe led to different sorts of political consequences and to different contents of these rights.  Democratic institutions in the city’s administration and other municipal bodies in modern Western European countries and in Russia take their origin in Medieval history.

Abstract: This article raises a question on the character and causes of crisis phenomena within the modern legal science. The authors point out at the direct correlation between the stated phenomena with the global cultural processes, first and foremost, with the collapse of previous modern worldview paradigm and the establishment of new system of values. The article presents a brief review of the key milestones in the development of philosophy of the XIX century, which testify about the emerging revision of the main elements of New European outlook and characteristic to it worldview. In addition to that, the article analyzes a number of legal concepts created by the Russian authors in the beginning of the XX century, which are connected by the interest towards the problem of legal consciousness under the conditions of the axiological crisis. Determination of the causes of the crisis of the modern paradigm within jurisprudence is being accomplished through the analysis of the process of changes in the structures of reasoning (episteme in the terminology of the M. Foucault), within the framework of which the legal concepts attain certain meaning, and outside of which they inevitably lose their vitality. As one of the conclusions, we can note the tight interconnection of the signified cultural processes with the crisis phenomena in the area of legal consciousness during the reviewed period of time, which therefore represent one of the manifestations of the bigger crisis of the very foundations of the New European outlook.
