Abstract

The article examines the essential aspects of legal progress in a transitional state in particular. The author identifies and reveals the features of legal progress in the context of political, legal and social instability, when various kinds of institutional transformations, perceptions, changes in the content and principles of the legal regulation mechanism arise and go through the national state and legal space. The paper draws attention to the theoretical feasibility and practical significance of a rigorous analysis of the nature of legal progress, highlighting its criteria in a typologically uncertain legal system, in conditions of a transitional state, which, for example, is important for understanding and evaluating the course of reforms in Russia at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries.
