POLITICAL-LEGAL REGIME AS A STRATEGY OF COLLECTIVE SURVIVAL. THE CASE OF MIKHAIL ROMM

Abstract

The author analyzes search of methodological grounds for the study of the political regime. The concept and typology of the political and legal regime from a rather abstract topic of political philosophy, according to the author, could be the subject of sociology of law, exploring political strategies practiced in society to recognize the social danger and protect the right. For this purpose, the article proposes to consider the political regime as a set of demanded political technologies, i.e. the political regime. Those programs of behavior that, under certain conditions, provide the subjects of political relations with the best result in the form of legitimate solutions. The action in the aspect of political strategy is aimed at creating a discourse, outside of which the government has difficulties in responding to reports of its own vulnerability and decision-making. The advantage of the proposed methodology lies in the fact that instead of abstract arguments about the political and legal regime outside the historical context, the theory of law has a chance to explore at empirical level the practices in the field of policy technologies and standards, and only on this basis to propose classifications and substantive analysis of political regimes. The solution of this problem is demonstrated on the example of political appeals to the Soviet leadership of film director Mikhail Romm, who in the period 1943-1966 defended his colleagues.
