article focuses on one of the actual problems of political science - the study of the role and importance of civil society in ensuring political security as one of the key areas of national security. The author, in particular, arguing the thesis that is directly related to the political stability of the society and its political system to a harmonic synthesized with the progressive processes of social development and timely manner entail corresponding changes in policy. Civil society can fully support held in the country's political course, to treat it with indifference, to express in relation to him in protest of one form or another, and finally put to a radical change in the existing policy with the simultaneous breaking of the public authority institutions that it is done. The shape of the reaction of civil society on policies largely driven by the degree of its development, as well as the desire and ability of public authorities to «listen», to «hear» and respond to «signals», that sends the civil society. For the Russian Federation fundamentally the author's position is that the current situation, when one or the other public institutions of power begins to be productive only, if falls under the «manual control» of the President or the Prime Minister of Russia, when significant political decisions de-facto decision-mousy relatively narrow range of representatives of political and economically elite of the country, when policymakers are still aimed at preserving and strengthening the status-quo of administrative apparatus and the oligarchy, whose interests in many positions do not coincide with the interests of civil society - such a situation does not improve and significantly reduces the degree of political security of Russia.
