Abstract

The assessment of the level of development of society and the state in modern political and legal discourse is largely conditioned by the efforts made to address social issues. The Constitution of the Russian Federation defines Russia as a state governed by the rule of law, whose policy is aimed at creating conditions that ensure a decent life and free development of man, attributing to the foundations of its constitutional system the principle of the social state, which bears responsibility to the present and future generations and guarantees the well-being and prosperity of the country. The formation of the modern system of social protection actualizes the study of its forms in the past.

The article reveals the plurality of approaches to the construction of legal space in the implementation of social policy on the basis of historical and legal analysis. The article analyzes the richest domestic experience characterized by a variety of socially oriented initiatives, which determines the specificity of Russian approaches to the solution of socially important issues. The study is based on a set of sources, including normative acts, monographic studies, periodicals, statistical data.

The study and analysis of empirical material made it possible to substantiate, contrary to the narrative formed in Soviet historiography about the discreteness of domestic social development, the consistency and progressiveness of the realization of original Russian approaches in the imperial and Soviet periods of our country’s development. This allowed us to formulate a position on the emergence of the foundations of the Russian model of intergenerational solidarity at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries, which allows us to propose a discourse on Russian social identity in the context of the formation of the domestic model of political and legal knowledge.
