Abstract

The author examines the crisis in the social institution of fatherhood in modern Russia, its various aspects and implications for the socialization of new generations, social and political order, culture and political modernization. Using the methodology and theory of psychoanalysis, the author explores not only the social and psychological pathologies arising from the crisis, but also a broader political context. The content of the latter is the conflict between mature and infantile people both in political elite and in masses. In the search for the psycho-historical foundations of the current situation, the author refers to psychoanalysis of the personality of Ivan the Terrible and Stalin.
