Abstract

Objective of the study: consider regional communities in consolidation processes and determine their role in increasing the level of consolidation of Russian society. The methodological basis of the research is based on the use of the provisions of a number of theories: social space, social capital, socio-structural functionalism, systems approach. Results of the study. The consolidation of the Russian is defined precisely in the social aspect, however, the political component of legitimization is also highlighted, which is able to determine the direction of consolidation; consolidation is considered in two manifestations – as a state of society and as a process; the dual nature of consolidation is positive, aimed at the development of relationships in the social structure and the expansion of social capital, and destructive, capable of increasing conflict the social environment and the demise of the social system; the regional community is considered as a factor linking the formation and use of social capital with consolidation processes; the role of the regional community is defined as an element of the social structure forming consolidation goals, acting as a link between the population and regional and state social institutions, capable of bringing individual consolidation potential to the level of state consolidation. It is under the condition of an agreed adequate coincidence of the objective (at the state level) and subjective (at the regional level) components that one can talk about the possibility of implementing the principle of consolidation. Research Perspectives are connected with the deepening of the study of the constructive and destructive orientation of consolidation and a clearer systemic definition of the role of the regional community in the formation of constructive consolidation through interaction with regional and state social institutions.
