The new book by the renowned Byzantinist, historian of state and law A.M. Velichko is dedicated to the issues of national culture and monarchy. Although there have been many works on this subject recently, it is evident that the discussion is far from over. The exposition begins with a philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of power, the place of man in society and the state. The author thoroughly analyzes widely held "theories" to this day, according to which the idea of ensuring a minimum social level for citizens is considered antagonistic to monarchy, which is absurd from a historical perspective. Numerous examples from the times of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation are provided, demonstrating that Christian monarchism and socialism complement each other organically. The theme of the legitimacy and legality of supreme power, as well as the sources of the legitimacy of royal power, are deeply explored through various historical examples. A separate section of the book is dedicated to the issues of national idea and culture. This theme is particularly relevant today, as ideological layers that seemed unshakable yesterday are breaking down. In these conditions, it is extremely important to determine Russia's place in the world, assess both our advantages and the shortcomings that have not been eliminated over the past centuries. The book is intended for students and teachers of legal, historical, and philosophical educational institutions, as well as for all those interested in the history of state, law, and the Church.
