Abstract
Over a long period of time, the general theoretical aspects of law, its relationship with key areas of philosophical knowledge (ontology, axiology), as well as practice-oriented technical research played a predominant role in legal knowledge. At the same time, such an aspect of the functioning of law as legal consciousness remains not fully studied. This concerns both the social significance of legal consciousness and the social context of its formation in the public environment. Equally interesting is the question of what are the key trends in the formation of legal consciousness in Russian society. The article examines the problem of legal consciousness in Russian society. In the first part of the article, a general theoretical study of the essence of legal consciousness, its place in the system of social worldview, social significance, as well as key factors of formation is carried out. Separately, the question of the deformation of legal consciousness and its causes is raised. The second part of the work is devoted to the current state of legal consciousness in Russian society, which includes both the analysis of actual data and the consideration of indirect data, including the state of the main factors in the formation of legal consciousness in Russian society. The causes of the crisis of legal consciousness in Russian society are considered. Trends in the nature of attitudes towards law in Russian society are analyzed, and trends in the deformation of legal consciousness in Russia are also described. The processes described relate to institutional and information factors that are currently relevant. The third part of the article summarizes the results of the study, notes key trends in changing the situation with legal consciousness in Russian society. Options are offered to overcome the current crisis situation.
