Annotation: The purpose of the study is to assess the place of political and legal knowledge in the modern development of the state and law, to determine the role of its moral foundations, reliability and completeness as conditions for the civi- lizational self-identification of Russia. Using general scientific methods of generalization and analogy, such special legal methods as formal legal, historical and legal, comparative legal, the main components of Russian political and legal knowledge are compared with the political and legal approaches of the West. The need to overcome the established stereotypes of social universalism, economic determinism and secularism inherited from the era of the Great Revolutions in the domestic political and legal knowledge is argued. The struggle for Russian scientific sovereignty should be based on overcoming Eurocentrism as a worldview basis for the humiliation of national self- consciousness and deformations of Russian civilizational development. The reinterpretation of Russian political and legal knowledge involves considering the Soviet Union as an experienced political and legal model of the state of justice and social equality. The conclusion that any constitution is built on the value priorities of society is substanti- ated. The civilizational spiritual and moral features of Russia are incompatible with the worldview principles of the West. Modern Russian political and legal knowledge reflects the results of the cultural and historical development of the multinational people of the Russian Federation and the archetypes inherent in it that have developed over many generations as prototypes of state and legal forms, society’s ideas about justice and the role of law. Political and legal knowledge can be fruitful and effective only if it is harmoniously based on the cultural and historical experience of the people, if it overcomes the moral neutrality of knowledge itself and the practice of statecraft that grows out of it, and if it accepts knowledge of traditional spiritual and moral values as a tuning fork. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
