This study examines trends in legal regulation in Russia’s cultural sphere, focusing specifically on the preservation and reinforcement of traditional values in the legislation of the regions of the Siberian Federal District. Covering the period from 2014 to 2024, the study situates these developments within a broader context of rising patriotic sentiment, increasing societal consolidation, and the strengthening of public administration. The study examines contemporary value theories while also exploring how Russian scholars are revisiting and reinterpreting the works of classical theorists, either offering new perspectives or challenging traditional views. Key analytical indicators include the concepts of culture, cultural identity, cultural sovereignty, and traditional values such as patriotism, civic consciousness, and historical memory. Using the legal reference system Konsul’tantPlius Consultant Plus, the study analyzes quantitative data on active legal acts, applying key search terms to assess the prominence of these categories in regional legislation. The analysis employs dynamic indicators and growth rates to track legislative trends over time. Particular attention is given to the roles of governors, regional parliaments, and governments in the legislative process. The findings indicate that regional governments in Russia are the most active in lawmaking, while parliaments and governors play a lesser role. Additionally, there has been a marked increase in the number of legal acts addressing historical memory, alongside sustained state attention to family-related issues.
