The image of a strong state in the programs of modern Russian politicalParties

Almost every political and legal concept pays great attention to thestate and the public authority strengthening, to the ratio of the state interests to the interests ofpersonality. In modern Russian society there is a new wave of trust in the state, and the image of astrong state can be seen clearly in the programs of contemporary Russian political parties. Analyzingthe mass perception of this wave in Russian society, the author notes that if the Soviet superstate had astrong justification for its paternalism: the state taught, fed, treated and protected you; the current statedoes not have such a trump. As a consequence, in political parties programs the greatest attention ispaid to the theme and the concept of the future. The article deals with the image of a strong statethrough the analysis of the future concept introduction in the programs of modern Russian politicalparties (United Russia, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Patriots of Russia).Conceptual analysis of the parties programs shows that through its programs, parties declare theirsocio-political priorities, they express their view of how to resolve urgent problems of the society andthe state, of the economic, political and social reforms. The analysis of the obligations and objectivesof parties allows speaking that these measures are mostly of reconstruction character. The necessity ofthese measures is based on a pathological socio-political structure of modern Russia that has arisen notthrough evolution but by revolution. Since 1991, the social organization of Russia has represented ahybrid of the URSS social organization, of the Western model and of the pre-revolutionary Russia.And it is a Soviet component that is dominating in the present. This fact probably says about thenecessity of rebuilding the components of Russian social organization exactly on the Soviet model.
