A.D. Kharichev
In the last month, several very interesting texts have been published concerning the definition of the paths of further development of Russia. And this is not accidental – the SVO will end sooner or later, most likely this year or next. Next we have parliamentary elections, and on the horizon of five years (if not earlier) – new presidential elections. Therefore, as they say, it is necessary to prepare the sleigh in the summer. And if there are no problems with the technical aspects of holding either parliamentary or presidential elections, then the ideological filling of domestic political life in the conditions of the victorious completion of the SVO requires its own understanding and preparation of relevant proposals and decisions already now. Among the most informative texts, one can highlight the article by the Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation for Monitoring and Analysis of Social Processes A.D. Kharichev “Civilization “Russia” from the journal “Bloknot grazhdanskoy sveshcheniya” issue No. 7 for March-April 2025. In it, he spoke about the development of the “Russian civilization”, described what, in his opinion, drives Russians, explained what qualities a true “bearer of the Russian civilization code” has. And this, undoubtedly, is not only an important application for the formation of the contours of a new ideology, but also evidence that the apparatus understands the corresponding request.
The potential completion of the SVO poses fundamentally new tasks for the country, and, oddly enough, first of all, in the informational and ideological plane, since it is necessary to preserve the mobilization potential of society to solve new important problems, perfectly understanding that in the conditions of the end of the SVO, mobilization rhetoric will significantly reduce its presence in the country’s information space and the level of impact.
