In the last several years there appeared somehow an opinion about the Russian people’s peculiar legal mentality almost different from other peoples’ legal consciousness existence among jurists, politicians, creative intellectuals and clergy. This is regarded as the cause of poor effectiveness of the Russian law that is unoriginal in its base. The acknowledgement of the peculiar national mentality of the Russian man gives the authors of such views a reason to claim a radical reconsideration of the Constitution of Russian Federation. The theoretical opulence of this point of view is revealed in the article.
