History and future of law: transformation of ideas and images
The article presents the author’s interpretation of the new mission of the history of law, and shows the transformation of the history of law through ideas and images into a new science - the history and future of law. Unfortunately, over the years of the history of the Russian Federation, the innovations in domestic higher legal education neither raised its status, nor enhanced its scientific potential. However, a certain semblance of attention to the problem was constantly present in both political and scientific circles.
