Ways of overcoming legal nihilism
Need of creation of civil society for our country demands the deep analysis of a problem related to increase of level of legal culture of the Russian citizens. The legal culture is inconceivable without sense of justice which is its central element. Today the sense of justice is exposed to peculiar deformations in the state and administrative environment. Deformations of sense of justice are considered in the paper as negative distortions of the ideological and psychological sphere of the personality and society. Distortions are most striking in the sphere of professional sense of justice. Among them is legal nihilism, legal infantility or immaturity of sense of justice, negative-legal radicalism, speculative-legal populism and moral-legal conformism.
