Preface
When asked why the author has created an interest in issues related to modernizationtransformation in Russia, the answer is easy. Russian bird-troika, all the 70's and most of the 80-ies of the dull ramble on raznovelikim party meetings and dissident kitchen, by the end of the80's - early 90's ozhila - so as ozhila. Rvanula right off the bat, so yes, that flew from a drop rider (former Soviet republics), the will, and who got in her captivity at different phases of Russianhistory. And suffered. And we have - his contemporaries - captures the spirit, not onlykaleidoscopic changing world around us, but our lives, ourselves. Here it is - a new stage of Russian modernization.Wanted, at the time which is already in our history to understand who we are, where from andwhere we are going and how big or small the chances to come to the end in a decent place, and if we get face-control at the entrance to the civilization of modern. But, more importantly, whether this large portion of society and the Russian authorities? And if so, what principles we arewilling to waive that, as important for themselves willing to sacrifice?The waves rolled the modernization of Russia for over three centuries, beginning with thetransformation of Peter I. During this time, something managed to do, but something hadremained in the field of dreams and Project. So why the constant temptation of upgrading isaccompanied by no less a permanent opposition to modernization processes, when the reformshould be kontrreformy, but after some time, the process reproduced in the same sequence?

During the modernization period in our history, wecatch up Western civilization modernize (primarily Western Europe), especially in military andindustrial technology, all that serves the development of military-technical potential of thecountry. A substantial change of social structure that would include not only the adoption of institutional designs offered civilization modern, but also its spirit, the introduction of andcompliance with civil rights and freedoms, civil society - all this for most of the period simplydid not exist.The authorities seemed much simpler and more reliable as to not rely on private initiative littleman, but to take ocherodnoe / extraordinary fateful decision to mobilize all possible forces for the next breakthrough. When the price of terrible stress / excess of vitality people breakthroughwas made, or that happened more often, partially, suddenly turns out that around a hopelessstraggler socio-cultural space that is simply not able to not only play, but also maintain this localsuccess. Understanding that the existence of civil society, the level of social development ingeneral is the supreme and ultimate value - the power is not today.So, the main thing. For centuries, the main effort in the process of Russia's modernization is notcommitted to joining the western civilization in its genealogy modern, but for the sake of conservation, reproduction and consolidation of the empire. Modernization was carried out onlyin order to bring in more modern and competitive, because the type of individual (empire) of theelements, forced the victim and the retreat of private, local areas were allowed to preserve and
