Abstract
Objective of the study is the consideration of the legal pluralism phenomenon in the Republic of Dagestan (the formation and functioning since annexing to the Russian Empire and the current situation) and through a questionnaire to identify some elements functioning of the legal habitus of the Dagestan youth living in St. Petersburg: ways of preferential in private self-defence, attitude to the law that underlies the behavior in St. Petersburg, the opinion of the deviant behavior of fellow countrymen.
The methodological basis of the research was designed by both general scientific methods (dialectical method, logical and comparative analysis, systematization, historical method, generalizations) and empirical methods (questionnaires and analysis of the data obtained).
Research results. The study outlined existing tendencies in the law enforcement and accumulation of Dagestan youth living in St. Petersburg: it was found that for 50,6 % of the respondents, following the laws varies from the presence of certain conditions. Either, the lack of habitual hard social control in the conditions of anonymity of a bıg city leads to excesses in behavior, which affects the functioning of the entire social system as a whole, thus, it is necessary to strengthen social control based on intra-group reputation.
Prospects of the study are related to the development of a comprehensive model of the legal habitus of the Dagestan youth living in St. Petersburg.
