FUNDAMENTALS OF LEGISLATIVE REGULATION OF RUSSIAN PRAVDA: HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT TRENDS

The article examines the process of formation of the legal Russian state, which acquires great importance in the light of studying the extensive historical experience of the formation and functioning of various state-legal institutions.
