Abstract
The article raises the relevant problem of the popularity of social democratic values in Russia and the difficulties of their ontologization in the modern political process. The modernization project of Russian statehood needs further theoretical development of the social-democratic idea in relation to Russian conditions. The axiological proximity of the social-democratic ideology to the needs of Russian society is, however, possible with regard to the pluralism of the argumentation of the basic values - freedom, social justice, equality, democracy, solidarity. The axiological pluralism makes Russian specificity acceptable in interpreting the values of social-democracy taking into account the peculiarities of the Russian historical path and the spiritual state of society. The third way for modern Russia is real in implementing the transformation of Russian statehood on the basis of the values of democratic socialism (social justice, equality, freedom, solidarity) and the concrete political, historical and cultural dimension of the nature of modern power.
Highlights
IntroductionThe social-democracy as an alternative to the liberal-democratic modernization of Russian statehood deserves attention for a number of reasons [1].Firstly, this is due to the growing popularity of the social-democratic idea among the "ruling upper classes" and the Russian humanitarian intelligentsia since the 1990s, and, in organizational terms, the emergence of numerous social-democratic associations giving preference to the classical values of democratic socialism (social justice, freedom, equality, solidarity and democracy).Secondly, this is due to the need for further theoretical development of the social-democratic idea in relation to Russian conditions, as evidenced by the scientific discussions about the political prospects of social democracy in modern Russia, its correlation with liberalism, the historical typology of social democratic ideology, etc.Thirdly, it is due to the pluralism of practical preferences of the social-democratic parties and movements in the system of the modern Russian multi-party system:- accurate adherence to the classical traditions of social-democracy by transferring them to the Russian ground;- attempts to create a social-democratic party with Russian specifics;- opportunistic use of the social-democratic slogans in the struggle for power based on establishing a shortterm partnership with liberal-democratic, national-patriotic and neo-Eurasian associations.It should be borne in mind that the logic of considering alternative paradigms for the transformation of modern Russian statehood is built in a certain sequence: from the analysis of original foundations to the comprehension of integrative principles, including the uniqueness for their subsequent reformation within the framework of a new integrity, which presuppose the substantiation and implementation of the "third way" [2].In addition, according to L.A
