Annotation:

Introduction: modern Russian constitutionalism has its own specific nature that is determined by Russian history, philosophy, law, within which European and Eastern traditions were transforming, while gradually, over many centuries, creating sovereign Russian statehood. The study of its modern model becomes a focus of research attention due to the adoption of constitutional amendments that formed new institutions and gave a somewhat different meaning to the previously existing ones. This predetermines the interest in the study of the legal foundations of the model of Russian constitutionalism, contextually related to the philosophical conceptual ideas of understanding law as a significant value. Purpose: to form a new element of the paradigm of constitutionally significant values – the ‘sacred/profane’ system. The main objective is to study the formation of sacred values and their reflection in constitutional documents and legal science. Methods: historical-legal and formal-legal methods were used in the course of research. Results: the importance of efforts to reinforce sacred values for the strengthening of Russian statehood was substantiated. Conclusions: the projection of the social system ‘sacred/profane’ into law has not been studied so far. Such a study is relevant within the framework of concepts that determine the interaction of the individual, society, and government.

Keywords: Russian constitutionalism; 'sacred/profane' system; constitutional values; legal science
