Abstract
Russian liberalism differs significantly from European liberalism. One aspect where this differenceis most clearly marked is the acceptance by Russian liberals of socialism as the ultimateform of the socio-economic system. At the same time, they wanted to give socialism a legalform, which has not yet been achieved in European thought. The legal form of socialism was tobe the so-called the right to a dignified human existence. The term was coined by the Slavophilicthinker Wlodzimierz Solowjow and adapted to his own ideas by a number of Russian liberalthinkers: Pawel Nowgorodtsev, Jozef Pokrowski, Bohdan Kistiakowski and Sergiusz Hessen. Thepaper indicates how the content of the “right to a dignified human existence” was formulatedand how it had significance for the views of Russian lawyers on the rule of law and the socioeconomicsystem.
