| Summary: | This paper is dedicated to the study of «stability» ideas existing in the political
sphere as one of the key points of official political power discourse. According to the
author, the usage of “stability” concept oriented towards various manipulations of the
public opinion is compared with the scientific notions expressed in domestic and foreign
developments. The paper includes a comprehensive methodological optics: the author
offers detailed analysis of the key contemporary concepts of “stability” with detailed
presentation of the relevant requirements for the existing political order.
The author makes a conclusion about the discrepancy between the meaning of “stability”
in the scientific and political spheres. The paper considers such systematical political
circumstances as defects in political communication and existing political language (1);
political disenfranchisement and reproducing alienation of citizens from their own political
rights and ideas about themselves as political actors (2); and as deliberate transformation
of quite specific and instrumental discourse of “stability” and “stabilization” into a vague
ethical requirement (3). The author assumes that continuing trends in Russian politics
(in many ways similar to similar trends in other countries) – such as the gap between the
establishment and the rest of society (a); political apathy and even depression of a large
part of the population (b); and the ongoing transformation of the information space (c) –
are able to exacerbate the problems of the official authoritative discourse with scientific
research and even elementary common sense. |
