Abstract
The article considers typical structure of any legal system
 as a functional composition of a few subsystems. The author claims
 the thesis about uniqueness of any legal system but this nevertheless
 permits organizing legal systems into legal families. Integrative classification
 is suggested that takes into account interrelations between
 legal systems and families, not only similarities of their legal sources.
 The author agrees with classification based upon legal style as it
 is interpreted by K. Zwaigert and X. Koetz, but made some corrections
 to it. First of all attention is paid to branches of legal families
 (for example, English, American ones and the branch of the Commonwealth).
 Secondly, we must not mix Western and Non-western
 families even when we acknowledge interrelations between them
 and the fact of partial reception. In the end it is necessary to be very
 careful depicting the status of Russian legal system, remembering
 about its Byzantine and Slavic traditions and its transitional character
 nowdays. Future will show whether Russian legal system with
 the systems of neighboring countries will join Roman-German family
 or form autonomous Euroasian family.
