Abstract
The author of the article claims that the process of realization of the rich potential of Russia as an independent civilization in the new competitive environment of other cultures is hampered by such feature of the national mentality as the primacy of the general over the individual. This feature gives rise to our social infantilism and hinders the development of the civil and individual-personal bases. The author’s position is conditioned by the sense of concern for the fate of the country and is the result of reflections on the reasons for its current state and the possible development prospects.
