Russia has suffered from 20 years of "demodernisation" |
|
|
Russian society is a hybrid of a
post-industrial consumer society with an outdated ("deindustrialised")
economic base |
|
|
Russian "traditional" society with its religious
ethics, work habits, low consumer expectations, strong
family values was destroyed by previous modernisations |
|
|
Russia no longer has cheap disciplined
labour force |
|
|
A post-industrial "leisure civilisation" |
|
|
Russia cannot rely on economic and
technological help from the West |
|
|
Russia needs to find usable elements from
its past incomplete reform attempts in order to launch its remodernisation |
