Abstract

In the review of the textbook “Theory of state and law” edited by V. N. Zhukov and E. A. Frolova, prepared by the Department of Theory of State and Law and Political Science of the Faculty of Law at Lomonosov Moscow State University, it is noted that the theory of state and law is one of the most stable legal disciplines, where conservative trends are very strong. The Soviet theory of state and law has become an interesting original continuation of the pre-revolutionary general theory of law. In the post-Soviet period, our theoretical and legal science has been noticeably changing in political and ideological terms. The complex nature of theoretical and legal science remains unchanged, it still includes historical, sociological, philosophical and dogmatic components. It is the dogmatic component that brings stability and relative stability to the modern General theory of law. An indicative feature of modern legal theory is the search for a new methodology. Russian textbooks on the general theory of state and law fully reflect the specifics of this science, namely its complex, general theoretical and political-ideological character.

The reviewed textbook is a classic in all respects. It is based on broad social science material from different historical eras and the legal science of the past and present. The experience of pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet textbooks has been organically adapted. The proposed methodological and methodological approaches correspond to the best traditions of domestic and foreign theoretical and legal science. It is emphasized that the authors have tried to introduce innovations into the textbook, proven by time and proven in the scientific community.
