THE TENDENCY OF DEVELOPMENT OF RUSSIA: FROM COLLECTIVISM TO INDIVIDUALISM

P. A. SOLKINA

Keywords: the Western society, individualism, equality, freedom, Russia

Abstract

This article presents a social-philosophical analysis of the tendency of development of Russia. The division of the society into types has a centuries-old history. Any concept of management of the society assumes a certain specificity of the corresponding society’s sociality, in view of which the managerial process is presented as appropriate to the life of the society. Historically, Russia has found its realization in the collectivist forms of life of the Russian people, which provides the system’s integrity and stability of the Russian society. On the contrary, the Western societies live according to the individual sociality, and its basic standards are equality and freedom. The transition from one type of a society to another type is a fatal step in the development of this society; it is a reassessment of values, change of the lifestyle and mentality.
