THE IMAGE OF THE FUTURE OF RUSSIA AS AN INSTITUTIONAL BASIS FOR STATE BUILDING

https://doi.org/10.24833/2073-8420-2025-1-74-3-13

Abstract

Introduction. The article examines the understanding of the image of the future of Russia as a key element of the political, economic and legal system of the state and the main ideological orientation of state building, which determines the semantic content of the national and international vector of development. In the context of modern challenges of the era of globalization and the inevitable transformation of the world order, the image of the future is necessary to preserve national identity and ensure the safe and effective functioning of all spheres of society, including government institutions. The vision of a common future has historically been transformed, but its modern understanding indicates a partial disorientation and fragmentation of Russian society, which poses a potential threat to the multiethnic and multicultural unity of the state, traditional values and the Russian way of life. Which path the new generations of Russia will take in the 21st century depends on the image of the future, the responsibility for choosing which lies on the shoulders of the current leadership of the country.
Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the research was made up of the following general scientific and special methods: the method of system analysis; the analytical method; the institutional method; the historical method; civilizational and identitarian approaches, as well as statistical methods of scientific research.
The results of the study. The authors analyzed the specifics of understanding the image of the future of Russia and the historical evolution of its vision in the Russian Empire, the USSR and the modern Russian Federation. The main elements of the formation of a vision of the image of the future, their interrelation, evolution and the problems of implementing such a policy at the state level in modern Russia are revealed. The results obtained allow us to conclude that there is a systemic crisis of ideological orientation in the political sphere, which undermines the independence, integrity and identity of the Russian Federation and the entire post-Soviet space. At the same time, it is argued that the formation of one's own image of Russia's future should be a natural continuation of national identity, taking into account the historical heritage and cultural code of the "Russian world".
Discussion and conclusion. The systemic crisis of Russia's image of the future is caused by the collapse of the policy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the failure of the liberal New Russia project, which has failed to formulate and justify its goals. In the context of the gradually growing disillusionment with the Western model of liberal democracy in international relations, the issue of finding one's own path has become relevant again. A common vision of the future is the most effective means of setting long-term goals and objectives, as well as exclusive methods of achieving them, ensuring moral and political stability, independence and identity of the state. At the same time, national identity is one of the key factors of the nation's competitiveness and a fundamental component of the image of the future in the era of globalization.
