The legal identity differs from the religious one in the fact that the former is oriented to the legal system and society as a whole, and the latter - to a part of the society, which may give rise to a social conf lict and confrontation of different communities and the whole society. In order to overcome this kind of competition, the author substantiates the necessity of methodology and practices based on the recognition of a person’s ability to develop and assimilate the values and senses inherent to the law, to use them for self-understanding, personal fulf illment and achieving his o her legal identity - that is, the legal characteristic which excludes the criminal misbehavior as a factor infringing upon a person’s integrity and self hood, and, at the same time, a factor which provides the legal order stability and legitimacy of the law.","PeriodicalId":223654,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116554278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As history shows, revolutions and evolutionary reforms are the two main forms of development of nature and society, including state and legal institutions. Important in these cases is the legitimation, which can provide previously acquired or newly created stability and social utility.The court is an important element in the political and legal systems. As the author demonstrates, the change in the latter invariably entails a change in the former, primarily because he performs law enforcement, human rights and law enforcement functions in the legal model of statehood and, accordingly, law enforcement, law enforcement and law enforcement functions in non-legal, totalitarian, for example, statehood models various historical eras. The development of a court like any other socio-political institution can take place either in an evolutionary or revolutionary way: as a general rule, the former presupposes reforming or improving the old one, while preserving the traditional traits, while the second involves breaking the old one and creating a new one radically different from the former, but at the same time not necessarily progressive.Comparing the two versions of the revolutionary in essence and the results of the transformation of the court in the domestic history, the author concludes: in the first case, the reforms of Peter I corresponded to the task of its modernization and were sufficiently conditioned by the tendencies of not only political, but also economic, social and cultural development of Russia, although and a few ahead of them. In the second example of the post- October revolutionary breakdown of the progressive, in fact, court, the new court did not correspond to the features and qualities of the proper organization of justice, but was conditioned and substantiated by the interests of the new ruling class and the Soviet socialist state, whose task is precisely their expression and protection.","PeriodicalId":223654,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126897596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that esthetic legitimation of law is conceivable as the law being deemed as behavior regulator bears the external form. Esthetic valuations from the point of view of manifestation beauty or moral turpitude is applicable to any objects endued with physical form. Art can legitimate the law due to mechanisms of forming of «approving consciousness», as well as clearance (cathartic) function. It is affirmed in the article that the main mean of esthetic legitimation of law is word picture having some special qualities which are significant in the context of the problem under study. Some characteristics and qualities of word picture are listed in the article; such characteristics and qualities are illustrated by references to pictures and lithography of the best-known pointers. Psychologic process of law legitimation is provided by scheme accenting following steps of word picture inf luence on human unconscious mind, preconsciousness and consciousness: impression - affection of imagination - emotional experience - formation of emotion response. Such mechanism of delivery of artists’ views, ideas, attitudes, senses towards legal reality to viewers thanks to L. N. Tolstoy’s ability is termed «contagion». Some problems of esthetic legitimation of law are further indicated. In conclusion it is resolved that procedure of law legitimation by esthetic means counts mainly on emotion and sense component of human consciousness whilst other forms of legitimation ( for example, legal legitimation) primary activate cognitive and intellectual mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":223654,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125726515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contribution of representatives of the French liberal school of the second half of the XIX century is noted in the article in the development of the concept of legitimacy of power. The main approaches to this problem of the most prominent representatives of the French liberal school have been analyzed, whose work was significantly inf luenced by the conceptual formation of the concepts of legitimacy, in particular, and the legitimacy of power in general.
