Abstract
Within the framework of historical sociology, the author develops the concept of transistorical structures of Russian society caused by a number of internal and external factors, primarily the dangerous geopolitical environment and the limited resources of the extensive agrarian economy. The analysis shows that transhistorical structures, as an integral authoritarian complex, were formed during a long-term historical process, complicated by a difficult geopolitical environment, the extensive economy of the agrarian society, and abnormal natural and geographical conditions. The thesis is clarified and analyzed that for a long historical period the transhistorical structures, primarily autocracy, militarism, empire, large-scale economy, served as the basis and mechanism for the formation and maintenance of social order and stability in Russian agrarian society. It is shown that due to various social fluctuations, these structures sooner or later led the Russian state to stagnation, and then to catastrophic restructuring (the Troubles, the Revolution of 1917, the collapse of the USSR).
