Political Power Consolidation Technologies: The Consolidating Potential Of President'S Messages To The Federal Assembly Of The Russian Federation And "Direct Lines" With The President[Технологии Консолидации Политической Власти: Консолидирующий Потенциал Посланий Президента Федеральному Собранию Рф И «Прямых Линий» С Президентом]

The article presents the results of the current analysis of the consolidating potential of the President's Messages to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the "direct lines" with the President based on the social monitoring data of 2012-2021. The author justifies the conclusion that in modern Russia, the President's messages to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, "direct lines with the president," press conferences of the national leader have significant consolidation potential. The president is denounced by the trust of citizens and, according to social monitoring data from 2012-2021, meets the main socio-political expectations of Russians in matters of foreign and domestic policy. At the same time, the growth of the index of protest activity of the population, the decline of social well-being indices in connection with crisis processes in the economy against the background of a pandemic, etc., show the lack of use of the political capital of the general-national leader and the right ideology to solve the current problems of our time. Solving the problems of consolidation policy requires the further search for effective technologies for consolidating political power, bridging the gap between state power and society through the real modernization of Russian socio-political reality.
