The Concept of Traditional Religion (Confession): Legal Aspect
УДК 340.13, ББК 67.0
Abstract
The article examines the issue of the legal definition of the notion traditional religion which is widely used in modern Russian political discourse. It is noted that there are different approaches to this notion. The first approach states that the definition of the concept in question is cultural and historical in nature and does not have an independent legislative effect. The second one proves that the presence alone of the concept in question in legislation would presuppose its legal character. The authors come to the conclusion that despite the widespread use of the notions of “traditional religious organizations” and “traditional religions”, there is no legal definition of these concepts at the federal level as well as a precise list of confessions and religious organizations related to them, which creates a situation of legal ambiguity.
