Abstract

The twenty-first century is marked by relative stability of the sociopolitical situation in Russia, which created space for the development of culture and provided a tool to look back into its history. The amalgamation of different religions, cultures or schools of thought occupies an influential place in the development of multicultural Russian society. It is noticeable that the cultural process was not hampered by the disintegration of the former USSR and continues to reflect the social reality of today’s world. Reduced state intervention in the cultural activities lessened the number of participants. The transition from state funding to self-maintenance led to the commercialization of culture, though this commercialization was limited to transition phase only. This article makes an attempt to evaluate the process of modernization and highlights its impact on the development of Russian culture. It provides an outline of the main stages in the development of Russian culture and analyses the directions it has taken.
