The problem of developing the professional legal conscience of law enforcement is revealed through the study of its value component, so the reference to the legal axiology of 19th-century Russian conservatism is a relevant scientific issue. The authors consider the opinions of the main conservative thinkers of the pre-revolutionary period: K. N. Leontiev and K. P. Pobedonostsev, the heritage of I. A. Ilyin that belongs to the first quarter of the twentieth century, etc. It is concluded that professional legal understanding must be based both on the modern legal paradigm and on the national legal tradition, mentality and established positive social practices.
