Эпистемологический статус харизмы в исторической макросоциологии

The uncertain epistemological status of charisma is largely due to its polysemy and polymorphism. Max Weber thematizes it in a variety of contexts and meanings — distinguishing between magical, religious charisma and the charisma of reason, highlighting the trajectories of routinization and objectification of charisma, typologizing different types of prophecies. In turn, the multiple (re)actualizations of this “brilliant concept” [Rose] as reinforcements of their own theories in the form of varieties of symbolic capital, resonance, the everyday, the re-personalized, or the risky charisma lead to either semantic compression or the blurring of meaning, both within sociological theory and in interdisciplinary discourse. To define the scientific content of charisma, the authors propose to thematize it in historical macrosociology. The key question is addressed to the interdisciplinary connections in Weber's intellectual heritage — is the category “charisma” attributable to Weber the historian or Weber the sociologist? The clarification of the epistemological status of charisma, expressed in its dual character (phenomenon vs. ideal type), becomes possible thanks to the discussion of a corpus of the classic texts by two prominent German Weberologists - W. Schlüchter and F. Tenbruck. In its turn, the reconstruction and systematization of approaches of Weberian historical macrosociology allows us to clarify the boundaries and possibilities of the category's application. Thus, the evolutionary-theoretical perspective defines the heuristic potential of charisma in terms of reflecting the dynamics of cultural and value orientations in the process of emergence and consolidation of social order and institutional structures. The comparative-historical approach, in turn, defines the relationship between the analytical and empirical levels of Weber's sociology through the “immersion” of an ideal-typical construct in a real historical narrative. In this way, historical macrosociology overcomes the most valid criticisms (S. Turner) of the category's failure, heterogeneity, and its residual character.

Динамика карьерных ориентаций будущих педагогов: результаты межвузовского исследования

One of the reasons for the shortage of teaching staff in various countries around the world is the problem of attracting young staff to schools and their rapid dismissal. This situation actualizes the issues of studying the motivational bases for choosing a teaching profession. Tracking changes in students' career choice preferences can be facilitated by monitoring students' career orientations at different stages of their studies. The study aims to explore the dynamics of career orientations of student teachers from universities of various types over a three-year period of study. As a method of repeated research, the methodology for determining career orientations by Shein (adapted by Vinokurova and Chiker) was used. Analysis of the universities’ curricula was carried out to determine the characteristics of the educational process organization. With the help of a questionnaire, socio-demographic and motivational-professional characteristics of students were identified. Five hundred and four 3rd-year students from 6 universities of different types, who had already taken part in the first stage of the study in 2022, became participants in this study. The analysis of the obtained data allowed to identify the preservation of main career orientations (service, job stability and integration of lifestyles) among students. The convergence of the indicators of career orientations among students from different universities was established.

Динамика внешнеполитических ориентаций современной студенческой молодежи

Studies of foreign policy orientations of Russians are extremely significant for modern Russian society and require comprehensive analysis in the context of ongoing transformations of the world order. To carry out separate and independent foreign policy, it is necessary to support it from the population, to form of stable foreign policy orientations, and current ideas about the ongoing foreign policy of the Russian Federation on the part of the representatives of various social groups. The focus of research interest is the sociological analysis of foreign policy orientations of contemporary youth. Young people in the near future will come to key positions in the country’s leadership and will determine the main priorities and directions of our country’s foreign policy. The research of the dynamics of foreign policy orientations of contemporary youth can provide objective and reliable information that can serve as the basis for formation of positive image of Russia in the mass consciousness, understanding and acceptance of the country’s foreign policy course by contemporary young people. The study of attitude of various population groups to Russian foreign policy is carried out for the most part by all-Russian sociological centers, but there are practically no regional studies, including the studies among young people of different Russian regions on the presented issues in modern conditions of the unstable international environment. The analysis of structure and dynamics of foreign policy orientations of Russians and youth, based on the materials from the authors' own and all-Russian sociological research is carried out; their attitude to different directions of the country's foreign policy and individual international events is studied.

The Role of Higher Education in the Development of United European Values During the Post-War Reconstruction of Ukraine

The article actualizes the role of university education in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. It is emphasized that in the context of Ukraine’s European integration progress and the need to unite Ukrainian society, it is increasingly important to promote, support and develop European values among young Ukrainians – higher education students who will participate in the restoration and development of Ukraine after the end of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Based on sociological research, the authors trace the dynamics of changing value orientations in Ukrainian society from a moderate and sceptical attitude to European integration and a fragmented and contradictory view of European values to unconditional support for the benefits of a democratic European model of social development. Sociological studies show the leading role of young people in perceiving and supporting the values of the United Europe, democratic transformations in Ukraine, respect for rights and freedoms, and the rule of law. The authors focus on the experience of Ukrainian universities in informing, teaching and promoting European values among higher education students from different regions of Ukraine. The authors propose tools for further development of European values during the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine through the introduction of educational programs, disciplines and modules of the Erasmus+ program: Jean Monnet. An important task of higher education is the introduction of educational programs for training specialists for the de-occupied territories, which will ensure effective governance, restoration of democratic mechanisms, social cohesion of Ukrainian society, and removal of possible contradictions and tensions in the de-occupied communities. The key role of higher education in peacekeeping is emphasized.

Value factor of the countries uneven development

The authors consider reasons for the countries uneven development, provide sociological foundations for the study of this phenomenon, examine countries’ sociodynamics, reconstruct a map of countries development in the contemporary global world, and explore the trajectory of Belarus. The authors argue that the vector of sociodynamics is not predetermined, it depends on internal factors, and culture plays a key programming role. Value choice is an important factor determining the pace and direction of the contemporary society evolution. The article is based on the available data of international projects - European Values Study (EVS) and World Values Study (WVS). The period covered by these studies is forty years - from 1981 to 2021, and in Belarus surveys have been conducted since 1990. Authors’ generalizations are based on the Inglehart-Welzel model, and they confirm the hypothesis that the dynamics of value orientations in the Belarusian society follows the trajectory of changes that took place in Western Europe and North America in previous decades. The authors argue that social-demographic groups of the Belarusian society can be placed at different stages of the values transformation, i.e., urban and more educated population of Belarus (mainly the younger and middle-aged groups) are close to contemporary Czech Republic and Slovakia and slightly differ from Austria and Germany in terms of the value orientations.

Axiology of education: Ideals and unifying values in social education of modern student youth

Introduction. The problem of finding axiological grounds is associated with the need to solve the tasks of implementing the progressive mission of universities in the regions. The problem appeared with sufficient evidence as a result of obtaining analytical data from the first stage of the grant study devoted to the factors of formation of students’ identity in the multi-confessional environment of the university. The data obtained testified to a pronounced individualistic focus of educational activity, which presumably could have a negative impact on the development of academic communities and cooperative forms of work at universities.Aim. The present research aims to determine the axiological foundations of the actualised educational system that corresponds to the modern interests of Russians and to clarify the ideas about the barriers that prevent the formation of university value communities on the basis of the comparison of values of students and university teachers.Methodology and research methods. The empirical basis of the study is surveys of university students and teachers. The surveys were conducted by a research group at 13 Russian universities in 2021 and 2022. Based on the description of various conceptual approaches (sociocentric, anthropocentric and theocentric) to education, theoretical and practical argumentation presented in the article, the question of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the concepts is solved. The axiometric methods used in the study (content analysis and sociometry of group preferences) made it possible to reflect the results of the analysis of a significant sample (1,256 students and 87 teachers were interviewed). The analysis differs from the well-known studies of recent years also in temporal characteristics (specific time points were selected to trace to a certain extent the dynamics of value orientations due to the sociocultural specifics of the historical moment).Results. The nature of the modern postmodern ideology of education is clarified. It is revealed that its priorities are associated with individualistic orientations, coupled with egocentric interests, which represent the idea of eternal values and public benefit on the periphery. The ideology of postmodern pedagogy is contrasted with the value-semantic principles of the traditional culture of education, focused on the growth of the social personality, characterised by a formalised idea of the ideal. The sociocentric approach emphasises the need for subject-subject interaction taking into consideration the question of the idea of the ideal is significant for all participants in the educational process.Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the analytical results obtained, indicating signs of agnosticism and spiritual passivity of students, hedonistic dominants and general confusion in determining the semantic priorities of modern students, on the one hand, and the insufficiently realised role of teachers as mentors, personally transmitting positive spiritual and value experience, on the other. Along with the problem of educating students and correcting their attitude tothe teacher, the question of the need for the formation of socially significant ideals-oriented thinking of teachers is raised.Practical significance. The observations and conclusions may be of interest in the development of managerial and coordinating recommendations in professional and higher education.

Formation of value orientations of younger schoolchildren in the process of studying the elective course «Value world in natural sciences»

The article is devoted to the actual problem of the formation of values and value orientations of younger schoolchildren in the context of the elective course "Value world in natural science" developed and implemented by us. The author's elective course, being quite broad in content, has significant opportunities in the development of value orientations of elementary school students in terms of updating the intellectual resource of the dynamics of value orientations. The scientific and methodological support of the elective course is aimed at launching the mechanism for the formation of socially significant values and value orientations.The article describes the subject areas of the elective course and their possibilities in the formation of important social and personal values of primary school students. As a result of the study, we can conclude that this modern elective course, presented in a value-changing nature, has new important opportunities.The main features of the elective course program are its universality (the ability to form several value orientations within different areas, such as a value attitude to health, environmental and national values), relevance for the subject of value-forming and value-transforming activities (the forms and methods of the elective course should be interesting, full of events and new), individuality (a means of forming value-value orientations, taking into account the demanded value system of society and the system of personal value orientations of the individual), interactivity (to have a high degree of interaction not only between subjects of extracurricular activities, but also between subjects and objects of extracurricular activities), resourcefulness (the presence of internal and external pedagogical resources of extracurricular activities for the formation and development of value orientations of younger students). It has been established that the effectiveness of the transformation of the value orientations of younger schoolchildren by means of extracurricular activities depends on a number of factors, the fundamental one being the creation of a system that provides a comprehensive pedagogical impact on the student'spersonality.

Dynamics of transition dipole moment orientation in representative fluorescent proteins.

Molecules of fluorescent proteins (FPs) exhibit distinct optical directionality. This optical directionality is characterized by transition dipole moments (TDMs), and their orientation with respect to the molecular structures. Although our recent observations of FP crystals allowed us to determine the mean TDM directions with respect to the framework of representative FP molecules, the dynamics of TDM orientations within FP molecules remain to be ascertained. Here we describe the results of our investigations of the dynamics of TDM directions in the fluorescent proteins eGFP, mTurquoise2 and mCherry, through time-resolved fluorescence polarization measurements and microsecond time scale all-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The investigated FPs exhibit initial fluorescence anisotropies (r0) consistent with significant differences in the orientation of the excitation and emission TDMs. However, based on MD data, we largely attribute this observation to rapid (sub-nanosecond) fluorophore motions within the FP molecular framework. Our results allow improved determinations of orientational distributions of FP molecules by polarization microscopy, as well as more accurate interpretations of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) observations.

ЦЕННОСТНЫЕ ОРИЕНТАЦИИ И ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЕ САМООПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ ЛИЧНОСТИ

The formation of economic self-determination and value orientations of the individual is an urgent problem of our time. This is due to the fact that among active, businesslike, purposeful people, as well as among young people, ideas about their life path are more and more often associated with an orientation towards entrepreneurship. Values formed under the influence of economic, social, psychological factors, as well as under the influence of one’s own motivation for human life, determine the direction of economic self-determination as readiness to solve problems in economic activity at all its levels. The article considers various approaches to the definition of the concepts under study. The theoretical aspect of this problem is supplemented by the study of the dynamics of value orientations and economic self-determination of Russian entrepreneurs. The results of a sociological study of the economic self-determination of students of Bauman MSTU are presented.

The Dynamics of Work Orientations: An Updated Typology and Agenda for the Study of Jobs, Careers, and Callings

Why does a person work? Over the last two decades we have seen an exponential growth in research distinguishing three orientations towards work (job, career, calling) and how they bear on who we are and what we do. Our integrative review of this literature highlights an outsized focus on the calling orientation as well as a static view of work orientations in general. More fundamentally, we find consistent evidence in the empirical record contradicting the idea of three, mutually exclusive work orientations. Instead, we derive an alternative framework, consisting of two orthogonal dimensions (job/calling and career) yielding four profiles. Using this new framework, we work to resolve prior contradictions, definitional confounds, and erroneous assumptions. Further, we catalogue insights pertaining to how and when an individual’s work orientation changes over time including identifying four key drivers (learning, affect, hardship, and their relationships). We conclude by offering an updated agenda for future research including a need for career orientation research to catch up with our knowledge of calling, an embrace of variance (and moderation) in sampling, more consideration of temporal variation, as well as situating work orientations in organizational practices and a rapidly changing world.

Hofstede's Power Distance Cultural Dimension and its Representation in Historical Documents of Russia in the 16th-20th Centuries

Based on the theory of basic cultural dimensions by G. Hofstede, the value orientations presented in the texts of Russian and Soviet power discourse are analyzed. Based on the behavioral characteristics given by Hofstede (1980) to characterize cultures with high and low indicators in basic dimensions, a content analysis of the texts of Russian power discourse for the XVI-XX centuries, including state acts, legal documents, chronicles, judicial records, official and private correspondence, was carried out. A comparison of the hierarchical and power value orientations of Russian culture, identified by the method of content analysis, and the conclusions of historical studies of social and cultural trends of the corresponding period. A reproducible factor structure consisting of 16-20 factors and corresponding to the sub-dimensional structure of the basic value orientations of culture, theoretically predicted and empirically identified in foreign studies of value orientations, is obtained. Aspects of the basic dimensions of culture according to G. Hofstede, having different time dynamics, are highlighted. The obtained aspects of the basic dimension of the power distance are analyzed. Graphs of the dynamics of value orientations with generalization over 25 years are constructed. The correspondence of the dynamics revealed by the content analysis of the power discourse to the actual historical trends is shown. The conclusion is made about the applicability of the texts of the power discourse for the analysis of the historical dynamics of value orientations.

Member Self-Identification Toward Al-Ma'un Values as Organizational Identity: Case Study at PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital

Research aims: This study examines the process of member self-identification toward Al-Ma'un values as an organizational identity at PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study applied a qualitative case study method to obtain data, information, and knowledge related to members' awareness of Al-Ma'un, which was the source of inspiration for the birth of this hospital in 1923. Informants consisted of employees, with the primary data collection through in-depth interviews. Research findings: The study findings revealed that the member identification toward Al-Ma'un values has internalized into a nested identity, which becomes the organizational identity of PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital. Theoretically, this study found a solid and long-standing distinctive value of the three CED criteria (central, enduring, and distinctive) in the organizational identity concept, as introduced by Albert and Whetten (1995), with Al-Ma'un as a unique feature distinguishing PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital from other hospitals. The facts also showed that there was still a value alignment since several services from some PKU Muhammadiyah Hospital health workers still have not shown consistent Islamic behavior.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research theoretically contributes to the development of organizational theory related to religiosity organizational identity as a relatively new object of study using a qualitative approach in the discipline of economics. Findings of religiosity organizational identity based on the values of Al-Ma'un have the nature of novelty and originality of this research.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research has practical implications in the form of a new approach to developing hospital management based on religious values (Al-Ma'un) in dealing with the dynamics of social-humanitarian and non-profit orientations with professional and profit orientations. In addition, this research can be used for hospital development, which is coherent between a non-profit with professional orientation and profit orientation, which is still built on the organizational identity values.Research limitation/Implication: This study implies that a more robust internalization is needed to make Al-Ma'un a unique identity, image, and branding of the organizational identity of PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital. The limitation of this research is that the case study was only in one Muhammadiyah hospital, so it is not to be generalized to other hospitals with different organizational backgrounds. Since it emphasizes the self-identification process related to knowledge, commitment, and action aspects in forming an organizational identity based on Al-Ma'un values, this study did not elaborate in-depth on the dynamic aspects of continuity and discontinuity processes from the identification process of these three aspects, which require further research to obtain a broader understanding of the problem under study.

Managing Organisational Tensions in Cross-Sector Collaboration: The Case of Mediapolis

Cross-sector collaboration combining public (non-commercial) and private (commercial) organisational orientations is considered an advantageous and dynamic strategic approach to shared value creation and co-creative innovation in disruptive operational environments of media industries. However, cross-sector collaboration features inherent complexities and organisational tensions due to the fundamental differences between the actors’ strategies and operational models. This article explores organisational tensions and dualities in media work in the cross-sector collaboration of media clusters. The qualitative case study examines the development of the management approach and practical operations of the Finnish media cluster Mediapolis, which aims to produce value, especially through collaborative content and concept innovation. The case study builds on extensive empirical material collected since the Mediapolis project started in 2011 until 2018. The analysis focuses on the management of complexities and organisational tensions in implementing collaborative strategies at Mediapolis, as well as managing the shared operations and work of the cluster. The results reveal tensions between the core dualities in developing Mediapolis as a collaborative arrangement between the participating organisations in practice, despite shared strategic-level aspirations. The findings elaborate on the dynamics of different organisational orientations and business logics, discrepancies between visionary planning and practical actions, and opposing organisational interests and strategies as sources for organisational tensions in collaborative contexts. The article contributes to both the theoretical and practical knowledge on organisational tensions and their management in cross-sector collaboration in media cluster development and provides implications for managing respective complexities in media work.

Strengthening local governance in health financing in China: a text-mining analysis of policy changes between 2009 and 2020.

In the last two decades, developing countries have increasingly engaged in improving the governance of their health systems and promoting policy design to strengthen their health governance capacity. Although many well-designed national policy strategies have been promulgated, obstacles to policy implementation and compliance among localities may undermine these efforts, particularly in decentralized health systems. Studies on health governance have rarely adopted a central-local analysis to investigate in detail local governments' distinct experiences, orientations and dynamics in implementing the same national policy initiative. This study examines the policy orientations of prefectural governments in strengthening governance in health financing in China, which has transitioned from emphasizing the approach of fiscal resource input to that of marketization promotion and cost-containment regulation enforcement at the national level since 2009. Employing text-mining methodologies, we analysed health policy documents issued by multi-level governments after 2009. The analysis revealed three salient findings. Firstly, compared to higher-level authorities, prefectural governments generally opted to use fiscal resource input over marketization promotion and cost-containment regulation enforcement between 2009 and 2020. Secondly, policy choices of prefectural governments varied considerably in terms of enforcing cost-containment regulations during the same period. Thirdly, the extent of the prefectural government's orientation toward marketization promotion or cost-containment regulation enforcement was not only determined by the top-down orders of higher-level authorities but was also incentivized by the government's fiscal dependency and the policy orientations of peer governments. These findings contribute to the health governance literature by providing an overview of local discretion in policy choices and the political and fiscal dynamics of local policy orientations in promoting health governance in a decentralized health system.

THE DYNAMICS OF PRIMARY SCHOOLCHILDREN’S VALUE-MEANING ORIENTATION

Modern economic, cultural, political and social-psychological changes in Ukrainian society, European integration and the national revival are evidence of transformational processes that cause changes in the hierarchy of values and influence young people’s value orientations. Thus, the study of modern primary schoolchildren’s value-meaning orientations is important for psychological science and pedagogical practice. The article purpose is to analyze the implemented empirical study on the hierarchy and dynamics of value-meaning orientations in the primary school age. The article describes the methodology for studying the value- meaning sphere and the essence of the concepts of “values” and “value orientations”. The value- meaning sphere is the core of a personality; it covers an individual’s value orientations and personal meanings. Value orientations are a form of inclusion of social values ​​into an individual activities and behavior; they are formed on the basis of interiorization of the society values ​​. The following methods were used in our empirical study: “Three desires” for first-year schoolchildren (L. Bozovic), “Flower - seven-colors” for second-year schoolchildren (I. Vitkovskaya) and “Unfinished sentences” for third-forth-year schoolchildren (J. Nuttin). The sample consisted of 217 primary schoolchildren in rural areas. Statistical analysis of the obtained ata was carried out using SPSS (v. 25.0). To compare the studied different classes, the Mann-Whitney U-test and the Kruskal-Wallis test (H-test) were used. The hierarchy and dynamics of value orientations at primary school were studied. The upper part in the Table of Value Ranks included: material, hedonistic, nature ​​and altruistic values for first-year schoolchildren; material, family, hedonistic and altruistic values for second-year schoolchildren; altruistic, material, ego-values ​​and values ​​of learning for third-year schoolchildren; altruistic, affiliate ​​and learning values for forth-year schoolchildren. The lower part in the Table of Value Ranks included: existential, affiliate, civic, aesthetic values for first-year schoolchildren; ego-, future profession, civic and aesthetic values for second-year schoolchildren; nature, profession, civic and aesthetic values for third-year schoolchildren; profession, nature, civil and aesthetic values for forth-year schoolchildren. The statistical criteria used in the study found that the value orientations changed depending on primary schoolchildren’s age. Values, which rank increased significantly with age, were: altruistic, existential, civic, affiliate, ego- ​​and learning values. With age, ranks of such values as family, nature, profession, and hedonistic values ​​decreases statistically. The rank of material values ​​somewhat decreases with age, while the rank of aesthetic values ​​remains unchanged throughout the primary school age. They occupy the lower part in the Table of Value Ranks, which, in our opinion, indirectly indicates insufficient attention to aesthetic education, both at school and in family. Thus, the results of our research allow us to assert that primary schoolchildren’s value-semantic orientations change as for their priority ​​during primary school education. These changes are consistent with the patterns of mental development of children at this age and with the changes occurring with the approach of adolescence. Further studies on schoolchildren’s value-meaning sphere are seen in the study of the influence of the locus of control and gender characteristics on its formation, as well as the influence of family education and the media.

Collective orientation of an immobile fish school and effect on rheotaxis.

We study the orientational order of an immobile fish school. Starting from the second Newton law, we show that the inertial dynamics of orientations is ruled by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. This process describes the dynamics of alignment between neighboring fish in a shoal-a dynamics already used in the literature for mobile fish schools. First, in a fluid at rest, we calculate the global polarization (i.e., the mean orientation of the fish), which decreases rapidly as a function of noise. We show that the faster a fish is able to reorient itself the more the school can afford to reorder itself for important noise values. Second, in the presence of a stream, each fish tends to orient itself and swims against the flow: so-called rheotaxis. So, even in the presence of a flow, it results in an immobile fish school. By adding an individual rheotaxis effect to alignment interaction between fish, we show that in a noisy environment individual rheotaxis is enhanced by alignment interactions between fish.

Hype-eschatology or the “COVID-19 game”: transformation of religious conscience

This article analyzes the recently observed transformation of religious conscience. The author believes that these changes are most obvious during the period of global crises, such as COVID-19 pandemic. The article suggests that the most optimal perspective for examination of the transformation of religious conscience s consists in the analysis through the prism of eschatological problematic. Eschatology manifests as an indicator for the transformation of religiousness, which is substantiated by actualization of apocalyptic moods in the context of global civilizational crises. Methodological framework of this research is comprised of the system-structural and functional approaches, which allowed resolving the set tasks in the broad interdisciplinary context, including the experience of philosophy, theology and sociology. The author leans on the results of several sociological research dedicated to the dynamics of youth value orientations that were conducted over the period from 1997 to 2020. The empirical material contains the data of such social media ad Vkontakte, Facebook and Instagram, messenger (Telegram), and video hosting platform (YouTube). The author highlights a number of basic ideas viewed within the framework of eschatology of the Abrahamic religions (namely Christian eschatology). Firstly, private eschatology, reflected in the attitude towards one's own death and related questions of afterlife retribution. Secondly, the belief in arrival of the Messiah; and, thirdly, the expected end of history and time. These ideas developed during the viral shedding of COVID-19. The author meticulously analyzes how the eschatological theme mainstreams in the conditions of pandemic and self-isolation regime. The conclusion is made that the manifestations of apocalyptic moods during the pandemic are characterized by game nature, tendency to hype, focus on individual experiences, shift in the higher value of eschatology towards the collective culture, which is expressed in the effect of carnivalization of consciousness, transfer of eschatological problematic from religious to sociopolitical plane.

Dynamics of the Russian population political-ideological orientations in the post-Soviet period

Under permanent transformations in all spheres of life in the Russian society, the dynamics of the political-ideological views of people, their attitudes to the choice and implementation of the strategic directions of social development become especially important. Russian scientists prefer the ideas of the crisis of liberal ideas, growth of conservatism, left turn, and consider the state ideology a way to overcome the ideological split in the society and to ensure its unity and integrity. At the same time, some opposite tendencies are often ignored in the scientific analysis, which leads to misunderstanding of the real development of the ideological situation in the post-Soviet period. The article aims at filling this gap based on the analysis of the dynamics of the Russians key political-ideological orientations in the last quarter of the century. Based on the empirical data of the sociological monitoring How are you, Russia? and the authors research, the article describes the dynamics of the Russians views, ideological and political orientations. In particular, the study confirmed the hypotheses about the decreasing role of ideology, societys ideological polarization, mosaic ideological views of Russians, and the loss by ideological markers of the political structure of their status of terminal values. The authors conclude that the blurred ideological orientations would not allow the state ideology to overcome the existing eclecticism of ideological views without a contemporary welfare legal state that would replace the hybrid regime.
