On the Civilizational Foundations of the Modern Russian State
( Pp. 55-59)

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the civilizational foundations of the modern Russian state. The purpose of the article is to consider Russia as a special civilization and highlight the centuries-old socio-cultural features of our country. Based on the use of civilizational and local-spatial methodological approaches, a comparative analysis of the concepts of Russian and Russian civilizations discussed in Russian political science is carried out. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the concept of the Russian state-civilization. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to consider Russian civilization as a single civilizational basis for the peoples of our country. The special civilizational role of the traditional Russian state lies in the fact that it has always been and remains a unifying, universally recognized center, both for the Russian people, which is a state-forming nation, and for other peoples of Russia, i.e. various local civilizations. Therefore, Russia is a special type of state-civilization that has been uniting all the peoples of Russia for centuries, preserving their ethno-cultural identity.
