Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the role of cultural characteristics of Russian society in adopting and enforcing concepts of liberal democracy in Russia; to point out the most important concepts shaping Russian identity and Russian culture and their influence on the adoption of the concept of democracy. This topic is very broad, therefore the author focuses only on selected basic issues. The first issue is related to the Russian cultural paradigm which creates obstacles to the development of the Euro-Atlantic type liberal democracy in Russia, and the other issue is associated mainly with the impact of the interpretation of the history on democracy in the country. (Hlavním cílem tohoto příspěvku je zhodnotit vliv ruských kulturních hodnot a ruského kulturního prostředí na přijímání a prosazování liberální demokracie v Rusku, poukázat na nejdůležitější faktory tvarování ruské identity a ruské kultury a prokázání jejich vlivu na přijetí konceptu demokracie. Toto téma je velmi široké, proto se autor zaměřuje pouze na vybrané základní problémy. První problém souvisí s ruským kulturním paradigma, které vytváří překážky pro rozvoj euro-atlantického typu liberální demokracie v Rusku a druhá otázka je spojena především s dopadem výkladu dějin na demokracii v zemi.)
