Abstract
The study of the history of the formation of Russian statehood cannot do without the study of issues of law and justice. The Election Book of 1076, despite its predominantly moral and religious content, and The Bee, which includes teachings on various issues formulated on the basis of the works of ancient philosophers and fragments from the Holy Scriptures and the works of the Church Fathers, contain topics on issues related to the realization of law and the administration of justice, which have not lost their relevance today relevance. Based on the analysis, the authors come to the conclusion that the studied historical monuments were the traditional basis of the legal understanding and justice emerging in Russia and have not lost their significance in the light of the present time.
