Abstract

Objective of the study is a socio-philosophical analysis of the paradoxes of the transitive period of Russian society development, which is characterized by archaic features that point to the process of archaization of social reality and the revival of traditional sociocultural programs. The methodological basis of the research. As a theoretical and methodological basis for studying the problems of the transitive period of Russian society development and analyzing the manifestation of archaic features, as well as the ways of its archaization, the theory of transitional processes (A. S. Akhiezer), the theory of the archaic sociocultural concept, the theory of resuscitation of archaic sociocultural relations in modern Russian society. Research results. The transitive period determined a number of transformations of Russian social reality. Archaic features (authenticity, automation, traditionality, transformationality) of Russian society as an element of the everyday life experience are retrospectively tracked and reproduced in social practices. The archaization of Russian society is a process of paradoxical opposition to ongoing reforms in transitive periods of the functioning of social reality.     Prospects of the study. Since archaization is an element of Russian sociocultural everyday life, the threat of a distinct manifestation of archaic features in society is always present in the space of Russian social reality. In connection with this fact, a promising direction for further research is the analysis of the risks and threats of the archaization of social space, as well as the analysis of the dialectics of the interaction of traditional foundations and innovative phenomena and processes.
