The Causes of Emergence of Russian Labor Legislation
In the article, an attempt was made to overcome the gap in the research on the causes of the emergence of laws on hired industrial labor in Russia in the 19th and early 20th centuries. As a tool, sociological and anthropological methods are proposed that address non-positivistic aspects of law. The primacy of the factor of the labor movement, traditional for the domestic science of the twentieth century, is disputed. The decisive role of changes in the public consciousness and consciousness of the political elite is substantiated. As optional causes, the increase in number of workers, the economic importance of the proletariat as a producer of material goods, the rationalization of consciousness, the affimation of constructive consumerism in the value system of workers, the reception of foreign experience, the development f industrial and commercial law are qouted. The reasons that caused the birth and development of norms on wage labor in Russia are divided according to the essential criterion into fie categories: psychological, economic, social, technical, legal, ideological. The fidings allow us to develop theoretical knowledge about the way in which branches of law emerge.
