The article examines the method of synthesis through the phenomenon of love based on the works of the Rus-sian religious philosopher S.L. Frank. This study analyzes the approach of ontognoseological synthesis, which implies a transrational comprehension of the "I-you" relationship with the discernment of the primary basis of being or true reality. According to Frank's concept, such a basis is the phenomenon of love. Besides, it is re-vealed that this phenomenon has a dual nature and is expressed in two opposite categories: "recognition" and "possession". However, the synthesis contains the possibility of overcoming this contradiction with the dominant attitude towards the recognition of another person. Therein is revealed the moment of "unity" or striving for wholeness. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that synthesis in the light of love is a fathoming of the "incompre-hensible" fullness of authentic primordial reality, which expresses the essence of philosophical self-knowledge. Hence, according to S.L. Frank's approach, to be – means to love.

Introduction. The purpose of this article is to find out to what extent the "social state" concept, brought to the fore of domestic political, social, and economic agendas by amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, is able to satisfy the demand of the mass political consciousness in Russia for the image of the country's future. Methods and materials. To solve this problem, a wide range of general scholarly and specific political science approaches and methods were used. The conclusions are based on the results of opinion polls conducted by the largest social surveys research organizations of Russia (i.e. "Russian Public Opinion Research Center", "Levada-Center", and "Public Opinion Foundation"), analysis of the programs of political parties, speeches of Russian politicians, as well as on the observation over the Russian political process. Analysis. The views of citizens on the prospects for the development of relations between the state and society in Russia are analyzed in relation to the political projects of leading Russian political actors; the prospects of key projects of the existing political, social, and economic system optimization in the context of their compliance with the needs of various social groups in modern Russia are considered; estimation of social risks of their implementation is given. Results. An inference is made that formation of a socially desired image of the future of Russia requires a significant adjustment of the main Russian political actors' activities. Domestic political parties need a renewal of their leadership and relevant institutional and ideological reformatting; the highest bodies of state power need to adjust the political course – first of all, it is necessary to establish control over the use of natural resources, introduce a differentiated taxation system, and stimulate production. The lack of a clear response from government bodies and party structures to society's requests for a just, socially responsible state creates risks for the stability of the domestic social and political system, and can be used by destructive political forces to implement the scenario of a "colour revolution" in Russia.
