( Pp. 22-29)

The purpose of the research. The article is about the issues of strategic instability of modern states. Based on the analysis of the state as the most significant object of socio-political interaction and the primary goal for the technologies of organizing strategic instability, the authors typify various theories of the socio-humanitarian sciences on the formation of statehood on the principle of scientific rationality. This is necessary to determine the main directions of countering the influence of information and communication technologies of a destructive nature, used by Western political actors in order to destroy the subjectivity of the Russian Federation, intercept state administration and form hotbeds of socio-political instability. Conclusions. As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the modern Russia, needs to focus its main efforts on concentrating social actors’ powers, necessary resources, forces and means of information and communication in order to ensure effective security and sustainable regulation of social relations.
