The headlined problem is one of the central issues in any political doctrine. This article is an attempt to observe how this problem was viewed by the leading participants of the classical Russian Slavophilism in the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. The purpose of the search is to show the Early Slavophiles` understanding of the differences between the fundamental reasons of the genesis of the political organization in Western Europe and in Russia. The author also compares the Slavophiles` concept of the origin of the state with other theories treated at that time namely: the theory of the social contract, the theological theory and the conquest theory.
