CONCEPT OF DOCTRINE AND DOCTRINAL SOURCES IN RUSSIAN LAW
The article is devoted to the disclosure of concepts of doctrine and doctrinal sources in Russian law. The current Russian legislation does not contain a single concept of doctrine. There is no single concept of doctrine in the theory of Russian law. The word "doctrine" itself has become so firmly within the scope of the legislator and theorists that it is often used to refer to a variety of phenomena and categories that are and are not relevant to law. On the basis of the study conducted by the author, the concepts of doctrine as a category, legal doctrine and doctrine as a source of law are divided. Doctrine as a category is a more general concept than the other concepts cited. Legal doctrine is more closely related to law science and the philosophy of law. Doctrine as a source of law is understood as an external form of expression of the rules of individual branches of law. At the same time, the article reveals the content of doctrine as a source of law in a narrow and broad sense.
