The legitimacy of the domestic institutional system is a significant factor of political stability and an important condition of solving current socio-economic development problems. Several new factors negatively influence legitimacy. An explanatory scheme is needed of the conditions for developing effective measures to strengthen legitimacy. First, it is important to highlight institutions of institutional legitimization. Historical and transformational analysis shows that in a secular society the nation is the institution of such legitimation. At the same time, the "Nation" as a social institution functions to integrate values and social interests, which are significant factors in the effectiveness of the institutional system.

The question of the scientific status of the postmodernism concept is relevant because of the fact that scientists appeal to it without reflecting on the boundaries and possibilities of its use. At the same time, the relevant use of the provisions of this concept requires an analysis of the problems that have become an incentive for its appearance, as well as of the structure of social environments whose consciousness corresponds to the conceptual foundations of postmodernism. For these environments, postmodernism is a relevant philosophical paradigm. It is shown that the total problematization of the moral foundations of social life, carried out by postmodernists, significantly limits the amount of social environments for which postmodernism is able to act as a relevant sociological explanatory scheme. These boundaries of relevance are significant for social environments that are not ready to problematize the moral foundations of their individual and social lives.
