Abstract

The last decade has been a time of special appreciation for values ​​for Russia and its citizens, who recognize them as the foundation of society's integrity and cohesion, and ultimately, as the key to its survival. A key marker of this process is the emergence of state-level documents focusing on strengthening traditional values. The key factor driving society's attention to the issue of strengthening traditional values ​​is the confrontation between the country and the outside world, represented by the collective West. The author notes the heterogeneity and fluidity of Russians' life-meaning and normative-value attitudes, and their close connection with the current socio-political situation. At the center of these life-meaning priorities is the demand for a society of social equality, which highlights one of the most pressing issues in contemporary Russian society—the severity of social inequalities. The demand for social equality creates a common ideological space in Russian society and provides a concrete foundation for its potential consolidation, regardless of current ideological and political differences.
