Arguing about the crisis of the social state, we simultaneously touch on two states - the global crisis of sociality and the crisis of the state itself with its inherent unique sociality. It can be said that both crises are closely connected with the destruction of the state power model of political and social relations that are familiar to us, external in the format of the center of power - satellites and internal in the format power - citizens. For both sides, it is not yet clear how to achieve the state of security, who and what should be feared, how to create decent living conditions for themselves and what they can be in fundamentally new conditions. In the framework of this article, we have attempted to analyze the contemporary appearance of the social state in its Russian version in the context of external and internal power and social attitudes, the emerging system of political and social relations and their correspondence with the established polycentric, multidimensional modernity.
