The article is devoted to the study of the potential of cognitive technologies and their influence on the transformation of domestic historical and legal values. The objective of the study is to identify the need to analyze cognitive technologies as a means of influencing socio-political views that shape Russian sovereign statehood and deliberately distort the facts of historical and legal reality.
The study of sovereign Russian statehood is a task whose complexity is predetermined by many factors. First of all, it should be noted that it is very important to consider it as a system consisting of a number of elements (statehood, sovereignty, etc.). The study of this system presupposes the inevitability of its complex interdisciplinary research, in which it is difficult to do without legal, historical, philosophical, political science, sociological and other aspects. In addition, the analysis of the entire system and its individual elements does not imply conclusions with the proper degree of representativeness without the use of comparative and retrospective methods. The relevance of the study is predetermined by the transformations taking place in modern Russia, caused by both external factors and processes changing the modern political and legal reality, in particular constitutional reforms. The state of bifurcation of the system of international law creates new meanings of basic legal concepts that determine the independence of sovereign states. Scientific research on the topic of sovereignty and its positions in the context of globalization has intensified. The article analyzes the mechanisms aimed at the formation of distorted ideas about historical and legal reality. It is concluded that it is important to form verified, scientifically grounded approaches to the study of facts that have historical, legal, socio-political significance, based on material that is appropriate for doctrinal judgments and the degree of representativeness. This will make it possible to create tools to counter cognitive technologies for transforming traditional Russian values, the use of which can influence the concepts that determine the legal nature of state sovereignty.
