Revisiting the Specific Features of Russian Modernisation

摘要

The concept of "modernisation" is one of the most widely represented concepts in modern knowledge about the development of society. This is a new paradigm of social and human sciences which has replaced the Marxist concept. The author substantiates the theoretical standpoint, according to which the key thesis for the analysis of the specific features of Russian modernisation is its "partiality", fragmentation, and structural incompleteness.
