Trofimova, I. N Civil Activism in Russia: New Realities

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of civil activism in terms of the socio-political transformations going on in the Russian society now. Civil activism is viewed as a complex social phenomenon that includes different behavior, values, forms and motives of participation of citizens and their groups in social and political life. Special attention is paid to the development of civil activism as a result of socio-cultural, social and political changes happening in the country and all over the world. The author views the growth of civil subjectivity of the society and appearance of new actors of civil actions as the main trigger. Analysis of the problem includes the analysis of the main provisions of the theory of social changes and the theory of civil activity allowing to defi ne the novelty and specifics of the sphere of civil activism in the Russian society. It is concluded that civil activism is a natural part of life of a modern society. It is not a response to dysfunctions or contradictions of the socio-political system but a sign and condition of its normal functioning and development. Social and political transformations receive a rational interpretation and social evaluation through collective actions of citizens which contributes to the determination of longterm targets of the social development.


Keywords:
