Abstract
In the present times many successful citizens fitted in market economy’s canons live and work in Russia. These people require observance of human rights and respect for their dignity by government. However a lot of citizens hold to conservative values and yearn for “powerful arm” and kind tsar, supporting political persecutions and prohibitions in Russia. The aim of the article is to prove influence of philosophical doctrines of Slavophiles and Westernizers of the XXIth century on Russian political-legal life in the second decade of the XXIth century. The modern government propaganda applies ideas of unity of tsar and nation, “specific way” of the Russian, and uselessness of human rights in order to secure interests of Russian political elite. The authors concluded that it is necessarily for Russia to reject reactionary ideological heritage of Slavophiles for benefit more effective ideology of state reforms based on philosophical ideas of Westernizers and their modern disciples. The article might be interesting for scientists provided research into problem of influence philosophical doctrines on current law, and also on politicians, and businessman planning to work in Russia, and for all of citizens desiring to understand Russian political-legal life more clear.
