"Служилое государство" в постсоветской России: II реинкарнация "Матрицы Московии"
The article reviews the institutional core of the Russian society (Muscovite matrix) in the long historical period. The six basic features of this core are distinguished and its transformation in the framework of traditional society is described/ These features are: authoritarian rule (samovlastie), imperialistic spirit (imperstvo), power-ownership, anti-personality, social estates and administrative rent. Soviet socialism is treated as traditional society of modern type (TSMT-1.0), and modern Russia as TSMT-2.0. The article concludes that the Russian Sonderweg is caused by her antagonism to Western (based on the rule of law) civilization and represents its path dependence. The way out of this path dependence has low probability because of the embedded political and economic culture.
