LEGAL NIHILISM

Legal Culture of Modern Russia

Russia is searching for the ways of establishing civil society. One of them is to raise legal culture. This gives an opportunity to achieve a real guarantee of rights and liberties of a person as the highest value. The low level of legal conscience leads to legal nihilism, to creating the ground for lawlessness which sometimes has the character of national calamity causing great damage to the society. This creates many contradictions, eliminates the possibility of dialogue of different world views.
