Abstract

Here we will consider the syncretic mechanism power-property-management, which originated in the Vladimir-Suzdal principality in the XII century, was finally formed in the Moscow-Horde imperial-tribal way of governing the country in the XIII-XIV-XV centuries, was the main socio-political bond Muscovy / Russian Empire over the next centuries and survived in Soviet and then in post-Soviet Russia almost unchanged. In the scientific literature, this mechanism of governing the country and the method of social reproduction has received many names: natural state, rent-oriented economy, distribution economy, economy of prestige, totalitarian, Asian, despotic, political. We call it political (the term of the historian Yu. Semenov) in order to show that this mechanism was the political, socio-economic basis for both pre-capitalist relations in Russia, capitalism that was emerging in the country, and socialism built by the Bolsheviks, and the current post-Soviet stuck between the market and distributive socialism system. Social evolution in Russia is permeated by the conflict (contradiction, split) between the market-democratic reform aimed at dismembering the political syncresis “power-property-management” into “power”, “property”, “governance” and imperial-tribal anti-reform aimed at it. preservation and strengthening.
