. Once again on correlation of law and state.

Abstract: For a long time by now scholars and practitioners have been discussing the issue of correlation of law and state (or state and law), and their points of view differ and contradict each other. While some say that law cannot exist without a state, others consider law to be an independent phenomenon, which appears before a state does, and can function without support of a state. In this article R.G. Minniakhmetov expresses his views on this issue, provides critical analysis of a number of positions of other scholars, such as Y.V. Tikhonravov.
