Abstract
The paper examines modern controversial issues of legal relations, public relations; legal, social and individual regulators of legal relations and public relations; current national and international acts, monographs, dissertations and other scientific publications. The general scientific methodology is used — philosophy, logic, systems theory and computer science. The author has researched and taken into account the general scientific conclusions of Marx, Engels and Wiener, as well as the positions of recognized Russian experts in the field of general theory of law, primarily N. G. Alexandrova, A. S. Pigolkina and A. M. Vasilyeva. The paper draws the following conclusions: 1) actual legal relations arise objectively and are primary in relation to legal regulators; 2) legal relations and public relations are paired categories with both general and special features; 3) legal relations are «organized» by legal and individual regulators; 4) legal relations and legal regulators of legal relations are ontologically heterogeneous legal categories; 5) legal relations and legal regulators of legal relations are not homogeneous elements of a unified system of forms of law containing only ontologically homogeneous and only legal regulators.
