A unified social and scientific community of Russia and Belarus as an important attribute of the Union State

The purpose of this study is to develop mechanisms for the formation of a single socio-scientific community as a factor in the development of the Union State. The methodological basis of the article is a system approach, a subject-functional and institutional approach, as well as other general scientific methods and principles of cognition. It has been established that for the successful modernization of the industry of Russia and Belarus, institutional changes are necessarily associated with the formation of a post-capitalist socio-scientific community. The objective problem of expanded reproduction of scientific personnel is due not only to obvious circumstances (for example, the aging of scientific personnel), but also to a decrease in the social capital of science in general, which leads both to the degradation of the institutional system of scientific schools formed in the last century and to the practical impossibility of their development in the future. In many ways, the problem of expanded reproduction of scientific personnel can be solved by increasing the funding of fundamental science. The formation of a single socio-scientific community of Russia and Belarus is a factor in ensuring the national security of our countries.
