Abstract

The article written on the results of the conducted sociological research, is based on the analysis of empirical data and is devoted to identifying the dominant political and ideological orientations that determine the process of socio-political modernization of modern Russian society. Special attention is paid to the ideas of Russians about the possible future of Russia in the political sphere. It is shown that the modernization projects launched by the government and the political elite do not always meet the requirements of the Russian society, in which the high value of social justice is preserved. Based on the analysis of dynamic data series, we conclude that there is a high level of continuity in ideological preferences, and that there is a value split in Russian society, which makes it difficult to develop a modernization scenario that would suit all social groups. Despite the relatively high potential for support for the current government, there is a well-articulated disagreement with the current political course in public opinion.
