Abstract
In this work, the author analyzes the connection between legal culture and legal mentality. He attempts to prove that Russian legal nihilism can be broken if the legislator takes into account the special features of Russian legal mentality and legal sense.
Highlights
As theoretical legal knowledge cannot be considered in isolation from the social and cultural context in which it is being objectively created, legal culture is just a reflection of the general culture and values of a particular society
While analyzing individual elements of Russian legal reality, it would be methodologically wrong to exclude the considered phenomena from the common set of cultural knowledge. It would be interesting in the framework of this paper to analyze the category of legal mentality as qualitatively the most important characteristic of Russian legal culture, to prove that legal nihilism, which is synonymous with Russian legal culture for many researchers, is nothing more than a rejection by the population of norms of the so-called positive law
A Russian legal scientist who deals with problems of legal mentality, believes that ideas about mentality are deeply rooted in antiquity and have been formed in the course of naturally historical development and evolution of mankind (Menyailo, 2002)
