Sovereign future of Russia: A demand for innovative governance of complex objective and subjective determinants

Abstract

The author critically analyzes the ‘old’ linear and contemporary theories of socialcultural dynamics focusing on the trends of complexity and non-linearity. The article presents the contours of the concept of the sovereign future of the country based on the analysis of emerging objective and subjective determinants of a complex type, which are mutually influenced. The author argues that the most significant determinants, which determine the basic trends of the movement to the future, are as follows: social dynamics of space and time - reflections of actors; hybridization of society and nature - new opportunities and limitations for action; digitalization - transformation of the dualism of man and technology into their duality; metamorphoses of labor; hybridization of education - reflections of teachers and learners; increasingly complex determinants of health and disease - therapeutic reflections; value-normative dispersion - responses to the humanitarian crisis. The author believes that the formation of the sovereign future for Russia implies the innovative governance of the duality of objective and subjective determinants. The quintessence of this type of governance is a non-linear humanistic system of a synergetic type, which is based on the historical and civilizational conditionality and the national values foundation. Such a system will facilitate the movement to the sovereign future of Russia and will contribute to the formation of a new social type - a harmoniously developed and socially responsible person - as necessary and relevant for this movement.
