Police-Law Theory On The Regulation Of Public Relations In The Police State

Abstract

The police state continues to be of interest not only in the historical aspect. As the role of the state in the modern world grows, public interest in the police state strengthens, and questions about new forms of the police state and the possibility of combining the features of the police and law-governed states moves to the center of public debate. The aim of the study was the problem-theoretical reconstruction and interpretation of the theoretical and legal heritage of Russian police scientists with an emphasis on the characteristics of the regulation of public relations in a police state. The selection of textual "facts" in the theoretical legacy of the police scientists and the interpretation of their texts were aimed at identifying the actual meaning of the ideas of Russian thinkers for the realities of our time. An analysis of the theoretical legacy of Russian police scientists made it possible to single out the evolutionary stages of the police legal theory, to determine the features of the relationship between the state, society and the individual in the police state, to characterize eudaimonism as the ideological basis of the police state, to determine the laws of the total regulation of public life in the police state, to characterize bureaucratization and forced unanimity as attributes of the police state governance.
