  • cultural.

Personal rights and freedoms of man and citizen take precedence.

Today, this group is given special attention, as the state policy aimed at the public good, while the Constitution of the Soviet Union the most important place was given to the economic stability of the country and its guarantees.

Personal rights belong to every human being from the moment of his birth and have no attachment to the nationality or citizenship, they are inalienable.
