Abstract
The paper shows how collective attitudes influence upon the Russian people's consciousness and self-protective behavior. We review the most valuable researches concerning social attitudes, and we show how social attitudes determine behavior models. The description of the features of the Russian mentality such as collectivism and sobornost are presented. We also consider the results obtained by other studies which demonstrate a destructive impact of collectivism on the Russian' self-protective behavior models at present.
