Golubitsky, Yu. A. Social Dominant of Time of Cardinal Transformations (on Some Aspects of Social Futurology).

Abstract: Entering into controversy with the followers of the cardinal transformations of the ‘ethnic culture core’ (A. Rakitov, V. Yadov and A. Davydov) the author of the article defends the idea of reformation of the society and keeping the originality of the Russian ethnos. The author places a task to prove that radical neoliberals’ attempts to ‘correct’ the cultural core of the Russian nation may lead to decomposition of the Russian transethnic synthesis. The article contains a brief review of futurological conceptions on the Russian statehood and society. Based on the author, a preferable variant of Russia’s development would be the creation of the ‘scientific knowledge society’ forming the basis of all transformation processes.
