On the issue of the "ideological vacuum" in Postmodern Russia[К Вопросу Об «Идеологическом Вакууме» В России Постмодерна]

Over the past decades, it has become almost a commonplace to talk about the final "end of ideology" as an objectively accomplished fact that is obvious and does not require justification. Meanwhile, real practice shows the opposite: according to most key indicators, including the rates of economic growth and development, the countries that have (China) or until recently had (the USA, the EU) a consistent ideological program are leading. In the conditions of the deepening crisis of liberal ideology, non-critically perceived by Russian society, the search for its own ideological foundations becomes a matter not as much as of the theoretical necessity than of the real practical survival and preservation of Russia as a single state and social organism.
