Abstract
The theory of socio-political cleavages can be successfully applied to the realities of modern Russian society. The purpose of this work is to consider the meaningful evolution of this concept in relation to Russia. The high level of social inequality and atomization of society makes it important, on the one hand, to identify conflict-causing factors and points of social tension, on the other hand, to search for grounds for consolidation and solidarization of society. Basing on the analysis of the statistical data the request for social justice is also comprehended through the prism of the structure of socio-political divisions, and a number of relevant divisions in modern Russian society with a high potential for registration in cleavages are formulated.
