The main strategy of patriotism regeneration in the Russian society and risks of imitation
This work offers the authors’ view of patriotism regeneration in modern Russia which, in their opinion, is implemented within resuscitation of historically created state patriotism with the appeal to the great-power ambitions put at the level of mass consciousness like love to the Fatherland. Actualization of imperial ambitions in the policy pursued by the leaders of the Russian state against the background of a number of the events, which received powerful patriotic elucidation in the Russian media, "awakened", at the level of collective unconscious (mentality), the patriotism which is historically associated with image of the strong state having nothing in common with civil patriotism, corresponding to democratic states.
