The relevance of the topic is also conditioned by the return of the Russian society to traditional values, including religious values, insufficient study of the relationship and interaction of law and religion as value-normative phenomena through the prism of church law. Purpose is to identify the relationship of traditional values with Russian secular law and church law of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate). Objectives: to characterize traditional values as a social phenomenon and the object of legal research; to identify the importance of Orthodoxy as a factor determining the legal tradition; to determine the specifics of the relationship between the state and the Russian Orthodox Church at the present stage; to establish the relationship between canonical and church law, the law of the secular (secular) state; to determine the facets of the correlation of traditional values with Russian secular law and church law of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) in the course of the evolution of the legal tradition of Russia. Methodology is represented by theoretical approaches formed within the framework of the theory of state and law, axiology of law, legal culturology, church law, including methods of analysis, comparativistics, reconstruction of ideas and theories, logical, historical, theological, formal-juridical, etc. Results. The results are of theoretical and applied nature and consist in a summarized view of the correlation of canon law, church law of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) with secular law, the relationship of traditional values with Russian secular law and church law of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate).
