Annotation: The purpose of the study is to consider the key foundations of jurisprudence, namely the elements of its structure, taking into account the changed geopolitical, internal political, civilizational and ideological and value conditions for the development of the modern Russian state and law. It is based on the understanding of legal consciousness, which has been developed in Soviet jurisprudence and become classical, as a certain set of ideas and feelings expressing the attitude of people, social communities (nations, people) to the current and desired law. Approaches to the structure of legal consciousness are analyzed, as a result of which prospects for the further development of the doctrine of legal consciousness and the heuristic potential of this complex socio-legal phenomenon are established. The author concludes that for modern Russia it is critically important to comprehensively take into account the sociocultural and theological conditions (factors) as well as legal mentality for the development of legal consciousness. These factors contributed to the forming of a unique legal consciousness of the conciliar Russian society, which in modern conditions nullifies all attempts to “instill” Western models of civil society and the rule of law into the domestic society.
