The Russian Official's "Code of Honour": A Draft for the Empirical Research Programme
The article presents the analytical reconstruction of the Russian official's social type. The work is implemented within the transpersonal approach paradigm and uses the conceptual resources of N. Luhmann's theory of social autopoiesis and M. Weber's theory of bureaucracy. The article shows that this approach can give a sufficient approximation of the psychological and behavioral features of the official's social type, including such an intrinsic feature of its professional ethos as bureaucratic formalism.
