Abstract
The problem of attitude to the Russian reality has acquired special significance and has become a factor of socio-political life in modern Russia. Variants of a possible relationship are identified on the basis of domestic political thought. The author reveals the features of the appeal to the theoretical heritage of thinkers of the past: actualization of the theoretical heritage of what corresponds to the "malice of the day"; "snatching citation"; analysis of the heritage of the past without taking into account the context of the current state of science, in particular the developments of sociopsychology and hermeneutics. The appeal in concretization of the attitude to the Russian reality to the periods of the 30 – 40s of the XIX century and the 20 - 30s of the XX century fixes the author's attitude to them as the most difficult, from the position of defining thinkers. In more detail, the article presents a wide range of possible attitudes to reality in Russia in the 30 – 40s of the XIX century. The official authorities insisted on an unconsciously trusting understanding of patriotism. This position was opposed by humiliation/hatred of Russia (P. Ya. Chaadaev, V. S. Pecherin). The position, most pronounced, according to the author, by A. I. Herzen and V. G. Belinsky, has become widespread in the progressive environment (I love, but not animalistically, out of habit, but consciously and I hate a lot of things in Russia immensely). Analyzing the attitude to modern Russian reality, the author considers it necessary to turn to the theoretical developments of solidarity and agonism, to take into account the socio-political changes that have occurred in Russia and the modern hierarchy of contradictions in the context of globalization processes in the world and the place and role of our country in them.
