Abstract

Russia's reunification with the Crimea, counter-sanction policy, practices of the Russian state and civil society, as well as scientific and technological and social and economic breakthrough actively attempted in the country are the key events and drivers determining the social and political environment and the nearest future of the Russian society. Russian civil society and the rule of law continue its steady growth despite adverse global social and economic and social and political environment. The key result of such growth is the pivot of the crisis trend as well as a dynamic balance of social and political relations between the Russian state and society. In general, the civil society offers a fairly sufficient level of trust to the government institutions. The trust level is to be enhanced and consolidated in the nearest future. The success of Russian politics shall depend on minimizing external threats and challenges and on meeting internal fundamental interests and urgent needs of citizens with respect to security and improvement of life quality.
