On the legal priority of traditional spiritual and moral values

In this article the authors based on the positions of the normative approach to understanding law, come to the conclusion that there is a dialectical connection between traditional Russian spiritual and moral values in law and legal priority. On the one hand, the protection of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values is one of the strategic national priorities of the Russian state. On the other hand, values can act as a criterion for setting priorities for state legal regulation, defining, both formal and legal conditions for the dominant position of any spheres, as well as moral and ethical guidelines. In some cases, it may be necessary to establish priorities in the value system itself. The named dialectical unity is investigated by the authors on the basis of modern domestic legal protection of traditional spiritual and moral values.
