National development projects of the country in the assessments of civil society

Abstract

Significant socio-political contradictions have remained acute in our country today, which are a challenge to the sustainable development of Russian society. A strategy of state social policy based on national projects should become one of the tools to alleviate the severity of these contradictions. National goals and projects not only provide guidelines for economic development, but can also serve as a basis for consensus of interests of civil society and the state. The complex epidemiological situation, challenges and threats of a socio-political and foreign policy have intensified the socio-political alienation of the Russian state and civil society, pushed the problems of national projects in the information field into the background in 2021. The task of forming an attitude in the public consciousness to the need to solve the tasks set for both society and for each of the citizens remains. The article presents the data of the sociological monitoring "How are you, Russia?" according to the assessment of the importance of national projects for Russian citizens personally and for the whole society. It is shown that citizens in general assess the importance of national projects for society higher than for themselves, and in 2021 the level of assessments is lower than in 2020. In July 2021, two national projects were the most demanded both for themselves and for the Russian society as a whole: "Healthcare" and "Education". More than half of Russians also singled out the projects "Ecology", "Housing and urban environment" in terms of importance.
