Reflection of the main legal archetypes in Russian folk tales

The article is devoted to the description of the phenomenon of legal archetypes of order, property, power, personality and their reflection in Russian folk tales. The identification of these archetypes is to a certain extent conditional, since these elements of the collective unconscious are not given as an immediate empirical reality. Archetypes are dynamic phenomena that manifest themselves in the form of impulses. They give life to myths, religions, and philosophical concepts that affect entire nations. The archetypes of the collective unconscious have a significant impact on the process of legal socialization and constitute in their entirety a matrix of legal behavior. It is necessary to talk about the varying degrees of generalization of these archetypes. Each of them can be "fragmented" into several other archetypes, each of them intersects and is interconnected with the others.  Nevertheless, all the listed legal archetypes meet their main characteristics: a) they represent a structural element of the collective unconscious, that is, their existence does not depend on the mental processes of a single individual; b) they do not lend themselves to direct empirical observation, but manifest themselves indirectly, expressed in myths and fairy tales; c) they are typical and repeatable; d) they are universal, manifested in plots that are very similar among peoples of different cultures.
