Legal and Spiritual and Moral Imperatives of the Consolidation of Russian Statehood and Society

The history of Russian statehood, as the author of the article notes, testifies that at all times, especially of upheavals and changes that determined the choice of the path of our Fatherland, it was the Russian Orthodox Church and the law enforcement institutions of society that played a special role in this process, standing guard over the interests of the state and the individual. The cementing foundation of Russian statehood is the education of legal awareness, which Russian lawyers and thinkers have given an exceptional role to. In modern Russian society, the formation of legal awareness and the establishment of law-abiding should become a priority state task, from which the state has no right to shy away for the sake of the common good, because the future of our country largely depends on it. We must not forget that historical memory goes through several stages of its development. Now it is at a very important stage – the third one, when young people compare the events taking place today with the facts from the past. And in this analysis, they need to be helped… We need to equip young people with a worldview that would enable them to take the right life position in relation to new challenges and threats. Therefore, the main task of the state is to form the desire of young people to preserve the memory of their Fatherland’s past and true spiritual and moral priorities. This is especially important nowadays, when there is actually a civilizational, total and uncompromising war going on. Spirituality is the most important indicator of measuring social existence. After all, it defines the boundaries of what is allowed and what is not, semantic and value orientations. According to the author, it is the spiritual and moral, sacred bonds that are the foundation on which statehood, peace and order, and harmony in society are built.
