Abstract:
Person and state are closely interconnected. The anthropological orientation of the state
develops historically. The state itself arose at the dawn of the political history of mankind, in
the era of slavery or in a feudal society, like among the Alan-Ossetians, and at the same time
the first stage of the relationship between man and the state was formed. The process of the
formation of socio-historical ties between a person and the state at the first stage is due to the
originality of the emerging state. It consisted of two social entities: the ruling classes and the
lower strata. Accordingly, the attitude of the state towards them was different. The state defended
the socio-political status of the ruling class, whose interests it served, asserting the position of
this class. In general, the state somehow regulated relations between people. A new stage in
the relationship between man and state began in the era of capitalism, with the formation of
commodity-money relations. It was conditioned by the objective circumstances of the life of the
Ossetians, when social life and social consciousness changed significantly. The person, the subject
of social life, has also changed. If in the era of feudalism the state was made up of dominant and
dependent subjects, then in the 19th century the bourgeois class entered the arena of history, an
intelligentsia appeared, emerging not only from the bourgeoisie, but also from the lower strata.
This circumstance significantly changed, enriched the functions of the state, and made certain
demands on it. Let»s say the requirement to be political in nature, i. e. solve political problems
and pay attention to every person, citizen. The relationship between man and state in the
Soviet era had a different effect. On the one hand, it set its goal the all-round and harmonious
development of Soviet people, on the other hand, tough party leadership was strengthened in
all spheres of life. As a result, serious transformations took place in the relationship between a
person and the state. The processes of democratization of social and political life became much
more active, which ultimately led to the collapse of the Soviet state. Ossetian literature, true to
its generic property to reflect truthfully social reality, realistically revealed all the stages of the
formation of the relationship between man and state.
