Abstract: This article examines the key positions of anarchic humanism that is a political legal concept of one of the most remarkable representatives of the Russian anarchism of the early XX century – A. A. Borovoy. The author focuses on the questions associated with Borovoy’s political role in the contemporary to him society, as well as society of the future related to establishment of the new forms of social development. Special attention is given to the legal questions in interpretation of the anarchic humanism, forms of political participation common to the mechanisms of representative democracy, and actualization of A. A. Borovoy’s heritage in the context of modern sociopolitical realities. Methodological basis of the article lies in the thinker’s political legal activity in systemic understanding, combined with the scientific objectivity and analysis of historical reality. In theoretical heritage of A. A. Borovoy’s can be detected multiple pressing judgments that pursue although conventional, but rather interesting parallel between the political crises in the Russian Empire between the XIX and XX centuries and the modern state of Russia. The author suggests that examination of the concept of anarchic humanism can contribute info determination of the new ways and trajectories of development of the modern societies, considering on of the most underestimated pages of the Russian sociopolitical thought.
