This article examines Russian patriotism in the global context of patriotic education, civic education, and nation-building. It cites data from all-Russian surveys and World Values Survey Wave 6 2010–2014, as well as data from the content analysis of eight patriotic education documents from the United States, Singapore, China, and Russia. The uneven nature of Russians’ patriotic self-identity shows that external events play a large role in the formation of patriotism, while Russian society consolidates not through the cultivation of positive values, but on the basis of negative factors whose impact leads only to blind—and not to constructive—patriotism. This approach integrates citizens’ emotional relationship with their country and their state, civic, and national identities and emphasizes the importance of traditions and values by creating a construct of active and free social behavior without impinging on alternative values, traditions, and beliefs.

The article discusses the notion of “Russian Civilization,” and the ways in which it has been challenged in the last two centuries. Central to the discussion is the question of the extent to which there is a shared Slavic set of cultural beliefs, and the degree to which Russian/Slavic civilization is prepared to move from a state-centered to an individual-centered set of values.

Russia has for centuries been a country rich in resources but poor in the standard of living of most of its population. This article explores some of the reasons for this historically and currently, and notes that the main reasons for continued backwardness of the economy are the organizational structure of the society, the ideological views of governing elites, and the lack of opportunity for the population to exercise its skills and engage in aspirational activities.

The Russian demographic situation requires the age of retirement to be raised. The article’s analysis suggests that the short term consequences of this would be negative, while longer term consequences would be positive, but only if it were done in conjunction with other social and economic reforms.

Over the past 200 years, the birthrate in our country has undergone major changes. As a result, the study of the childless as a population group is of considerable interest to researchers. The aim of this work is to study female childlessness as a social phenomenon, and the causes and conditions of its dissemination in Russian society. Thanks to the works of social historians, medical doctors, and demographers, the essence of the phenomenon of childlessness in Russia has been described. Using the 2002 and 2010 censuses, we have traced the evolution of the percentage of the childless among women of different ages and generations. Analysis has shown that such women have always existed, but their number has changed, as have society’s attitudes toward them and the reasons for childlessness. In any generation, in different epochs failure to marry was the main reason, but the role of this factor has varied throughout demographic history. The problem of female childlessness in modem Russia has been tending to increase, particularly in urban areas. We also found a regional differentiation in the level of childlessness, which once again demonstrates the diversification of its causes and effects. In the second half of the twentieth century, the influence of demographic factors (war, famine, social and economic turmoil) on the level of childlessness was virtually eliminated. The development of reproductive medicine, gynecology, and effective infertility treatment increased the number of women who were able to give birth to children. At the present stage, the number of the voluntarily childless has increased, which may reflect both a temporary and final individual choice.

This article uses a broad sample of statistical material to show that poverty and inequality have different natures in different BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). Using various methods to conceptualize the phenomenon of poverty, the authors are able to classify several types of poverty: preindustrial poverty in modern societies (India, South Africa), early industrial poverty of the lumpen urban poor (Brazil), industrial poverty (China, Russia), and late industrial poverty (Russia). They then draw a conclusion about the overriding heterogeneity of Russian poverty, which includes elements of all these models, but tends toward industrial poverty. They also indicate that the Russian inequality model does not dovetail with any of the inequality models described in this article. Finally, they note the particular relevance of investment, employment, migration, and tax policies to combating poverty “in a way appropriate to the Russian context.”

This article examines the impact of chronic anomie on the socialization of young people in Russia. The analysis focuses on the formation of the ethic of responsibility in contemporary Russian youth. The author shows that in this age of anomie, the institutions of education, professional training, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement are not conducive to the formation of social responsibility in the younger generation of Russians.

Job mobility is one of the key indexes of labor market flexibility. This article presents the results of studies on public/private sector mobility and is based on data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey-Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE) from 2004 to 2013. It uses binary choice and Heckman models to analyze factors related to choosing and switching sectors. The findings show that the flow between sectors is relatively small, but that job changes in the public sector usually mean a move to the private sector. Moreover, a significant difference in wages leads the most qualified public sector workers to take jobs in the private sector. The only way to attract workers to the public sector is through nonmaterial incentives, which means that more passive, risk-averse workers choose to work in the public sector.

This work is an analysis of the level and dynamics of economic inactivity in Russia in the 2000s, describing the main sociodemographic characteristics of economically inactive people and the reasons for their nonparticipation, making a cross-country comparison of Russia and the countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The empirical basis consists of population surveys on employment issues. The reserves for increasing the labor supply from those ages twenty-five to forty-nine are found to be almost exhausted for women and significantly limited for men. Reduction of economic inactivity of the population is possible mainly by drawing on younger and older people. This requires institutional and socioeconomic changes (increasing the retirement age, increasing the diversity of forms of employment, creating opportunities for combining study and work, improving health, etc.).
