Legal System - A Matrix for State Self-Identification
( Pp. 41-45)

This article analyzes the author's approaches to the consideration of the category "legal system" in the legal theory. It was revealed that the indicated legal phenomenon is mainly studied by scientists in two senses: the first approach (broad) allows us to consider it as a fundamental, complex, multidimensional and collective "legal formation" that combines a variety of legal phenomena, means and processes; the second - studies the legal system through a set of normative legal acts in force on the territory of a particular state. It is clarified that the second approach is based primarily on the constitutional provisions of Part 4 of Art. 15. In the course of the study, the substantive difference between the categories "legal system", "legal family", "system of law", "system of legislation" is indicated. The variability of the author's positions in terms of fixing the elemental composition of the legal system is also noted, while the similarity of these components (the system of law, the system of legislation, legal practice and legal ideology) is emphasized. As a special classification of legal systems, the position of the authors was reflected, proposing to consider the legal system through legal arrays: as a national legal system, a legal family and a group of legal systems. The analysis of doctrinal approaches to the study of the Russian legal system made it possible to formulate a conclusion about the need to “grow” it, taking into account the cultural, historical, national, political, social, and economic identification of our society and state. It is emphasized that the legal system of Russia is the personification of its state sovereignty.
