Resume: 

The article provides a brief analysis of the convergence processes in the post-Soviet space. The author notes the randomness and intersection of various integration and disintegration factors and the active opposition to the convergence processes (including legal ones) in the post-Soviet space. Three stages of the rapprochement between legal systems of post-Soviet states are distinguished: the pre-integration period when the CIS was formed; the period of formation of the integration core on the basis of customs unions; the period of the formation of supranational structures and the deepening of convergence due to a more intensive application of the integration method. The main feature of legal convergence in the post-Soviet space is that this process, having reached the stage of integration, continues to exist mostly in institutional forms, not regulatory ones.

Key words: 
integration, harmonization, unification, rapprochement, CIS, post-Soviet space
