The monograph of the prominent Russian constitutionalist Yuri Skuratov "Problems of State and Legal Development of Russia: Scientist's View and Practice. Selected Works" (Moscow, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas Publ., 2023. 637 p.). The book is a systematized collection of the most significant articles by Y.I. Skuratov from different periods of his scientific and practical activity (as the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation). The book is timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the 70th anniversary of the author, is the fruit of his many years of scientific and practical experience. Y.I. Skuratov shares the concepts of Eurasianism as a methodology and doctrine that is important for Russian statehood and the implementation of the principle of continuity in science, legislation, and law enforcement. The following methods are used: historical, chronological, sociological, comparative, formal legal, as well as such paired categories of dialectics as content and form, cause and effect, continuity and discretion, continuity and negation, essence and phenomenon, objective and subjective. The concept of the multinational Russian nation formulated by the author of the book is very promising. The review criticizes the lack of analysis of the migration problem in Yuri Skuratov's book. The book does not touch upon the question of adjusting the teaching of Eurasianism, which arose a hundred years ago, with modern realities, including the negative realities of modern migration policy.
