All-Russian Conference with international participation “History of political and legal doctrines as a scientific and educational discipline”

Review of the All-Russian Conference with international participation “History of political and legal doctrines as a scientific and educational discipline”, held on April 20, 2023 at the Faculty of Law at Lomonosov Moscow State University, offers a wide range of positions on the history of political and legal doctrines. The participants, who are somehow connected with this discipline, express their opinion about its role and place in the modern educational process, its history and content, its significance for the training of lawyers, its general cultural function in the socializa-tion of personality and the formation of an ideological position. The speakers agreed that the post-Soviet period is characterized by a steady decline in the share of theoretical and historical disciplines in our legal education. The general conclusion is made that a disdainful attitude to fundamental legal science, including the history of political and legal doctrines, is fraught with a decrease not only in the level of professional training of lawyers, but also their general cultural level.
