Normative and factual aspects in the concept of "legal relations" in the writings of legal scholars

The article attempts to identify the natural connections of norm and fact on the basis of the general doctrine of legal relations. In examining the problem of the translation of the factual into the legal, it is concluded that a legal relationship can arise without a rule of law. The paper redefines the categories of "normative force of fact" and "normative fact", to which modern jurists do not pay sufficient attention. Legal relations are not only and not so much relations arising on the basis of the rules of law. This is the relationship by which the legislative meaning of the actual is derived. The category of "normative fact" is methodologically justifiable in understanding law and investigating fundamental problems of legal science. A new interpretation of the norm-fact relationship in the context of the modern legal order and integrative law enforcement understanding is outlined.
