ABOUT SOME DIFFICULTIES IN THE RULE-OF-LAW STATE DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA

Abstract

Under the conditions of the information war, the issues concerning the development of the rule-of-law state in the Russian Federation remain relevant. The fate of all Western liberal-democratic institutions ever implemented in Russia without taking into account its uniqueness is always the same: the copies are not only worse than the originals, but they are also the examples of «reversed sign». As a result, the political and legal institutions of modern Russia are strikingly close to the countries with a «managed democracy» but not to Western Europe democracy. The unresolved questions: who we are, where we are from, where we are going, don’t work towards the substitution of domestic state-legal institutions to the foreign ones. Contrariwise, many attributes of traditional political and legal culture are reappeared. This creates new obvious counterchecks for the establishment of a rule-of-law State.
