The relevance of the study of the preferential right to upbringing using a comparative historical and legal method (by referring to the Soviet legal experience) can be explained by the fact that it was during the Soviet period that the emphasis was placed on the priority right to upbringing (between the State (society) and parents; between parents), which still takes place in post-Soviet family legislation. The paper analyzes the reasons for the change in the priority subjects of child upbringing in historical retrospect. The problem is that in the post-Soviet period, some law enforcement agencies, undern Article 6 of the Declaration on the Rights of the Child of 1959, when considering cases determining the place of residence of a child, began to recognize the priority right to upbringing for the mother, while other law enforcement agencies are guided by the principle of equality of rights of both parents, fixed in the Family Code of the Russian Federation. The author highlights different aspects of this problem and suggests ways to solve them.
