History teaches us that in any period the state should not compromise its principles and sacrifice sovereignty. The political agenda of the modern world order predetermines the importance of strengthening Russian sovereignty. The events that took place during the decades of the post-Soviet period highlight the timeless nature of the strategy chosen by the nation. The issues of the state sovereignty, identity, and sustainable development of the state and society are extremely important for the implementation of global political and legal objectives of the Russian Federation in the context of the multipolar world formation. The 21st century has resulted in reconsidering old political paradigms and searching for new ones and extending the tools of cognition (methods, technologies, techniques), while the entire history of attempts to create artificial or borrowed political and legal constructs, alien to the national mentality, testifies that this is destructive both for the individual citizen, and for the entire people and it destroys the freedom of the Russian state. The authors believe that if the national idea acts as a source of the formation of public legal culture, the spiritual bond of Russian statehood, then the state ideology emanating from the national idea transforms the system of political and legal symbols and stereotypes into a single state-civilization.
