Abstract
The modern world is experiencing a deep value and worldview crisis, which is based on a crisis of legal understanding. The legal ideals that unite humanity and that humanity have suffered and been fighting for have been shaken by the policy of hegemony, the imposition of approaches and interpretations that have developed in the conditions of Western civilization in the absence of their consensus recognition. The need to form a new global legal paradigm based on respect for national identity requires the mobilization of domestic fundamental jurisprudence, including historical and legal science, which should ensure the continuity of state and legal development, the connection of traditional spiritual and moral values and the desire for progress. Based on the ideological heritage of S. V. Yushkov the article discusses methodological problems of historical jurisprudence, as well as approaches and solutions that can and should serve as a basis for strengthening and developing the history of the state and law of Russia in scientific and educational jurisprudence in modern realities.
