The life world of the Russian village in legal attitude: sociological aspect

Abstract

Based on various scientific concepts in the understanding of the lifeworld, the presented study characterizes the sociological aspects of the lifeworld of the Russian rural areas and builds its theoretical construct (model), which will make it possible to explore the legal foundations of rural life and ways to improve them in the future. The author concludes that the lifeworld of Russian rural areas can be represented as a dual construct that links scientific theories (paradigm) of the lifeworld with the system; structurally, it consists of social (group) consciousness based on the communicative action (behavior) of individuals and groups of Russian society aimed at mutual understanding. The lifeworld of Russian rural areas that develops this way through the functioning of the system is manifested in the meanings of public (public) and personal (private) life in the form of goal principles that guide a person (consciously or spontaneously) in everyday life to preserve values and develop society. The system of the rural lifeworld consists of several institutional subsystems (sociopolitical structures), including the legal subsystem, and it serves as a factor in the development (driving force) of its system.
