К вопросу о проблематике отечественной бюрократии: социально-философское рассмотрение

Abstract

The article is an attempt at an unbiased assessment of the role of the Russian bureaucracy in the context of the socio-historical process. With all the diversity of the available theoretical approaches to the phenomenon of domestic bureaucracy, the analysis of historical facts shows that only a centrally soldered authoritarian model that ensures the realization of mobilization potential demonstrated effectiveness. In the course of the historical evolution of the state apparatus, a political and managerial tradition has been formed - a historically established, stable and repetitive system of norms and rules that determines the type of relations primarily within the political and administrative sphere. At the moment, the domestic bureaucracy is one of the main contradictions for the national social system, playing at the same time the role of thesis and antithesis. On the one hand, the established state administrative apparatus is organically connected with society and its destruction will inevitably lead to the social system to a systemic crisis, or even to a rapid collapse. On the other hand, the destructive influence of bureaucratization is obvious and boils down to the following points: 1) lack of flexibility and speed in decision-making, which is relevant for the modern rapidly changing world; 2) the tendency to minimize grassroots initiatives, about the possibilities of which the social majority does not have adequate ideas; 3) alienation between the population and administrative officials, increasingly closing in a separate group, which works against social unity and integrity.
