Legal culture of Ural residents in the Post-Reform period.

Abstract

The paper analyzes the peculiarities of the legal culture of workers of the mining and metallurgical Urals in the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries. In the course of the study, we concluded that the attitude of the Ural workers to the law was determined not formally by legal norms, but its interpretation in accordance with their own ideas of justice and legal dualism according to the principle “judged by law or by conscience”. This further served as the people's legal legitimization of any lawlessness, when it was in the interests of the masses and led to the priority of group regulators over national ones.
