ABSTRACT
The research subject is the statehood culture. Transformations in the spiritual and material worlds are directly reflected in the system of state-building. Transformations in the spiritual and material worlds are directly reflected in the system of state-building. Never before has a crisis of social order been accompanied by such a devastating pandemic. Crisis phenomena have affected the main human-made attributes—the economy and the government. The government provides security, social protection, law and order, and justice as the common good. The COVID-19 crisis confirmed that even in the face of global shocks, the national economy becomes the guarantor of the well-being of its people and that there is a certain limit to economic security that cannot be left open. The destructive forces of transnational monopolies, who perceive national borders with their customs supervision and trade policies as a hindrance, have descended upon nation-states. The American way of democracy is realized through the destruction of nation-states and the forcible imposition of a single form of statehood on all people. This state of affairs necessitates the reconsideration of the assessment of the experience of countries using other forms of economic and social orientation and getting good results. It is necessary to turn to the historical experience of Russia, whose peoples have an unprecedentedly high national instinct, which allows overcoming the crisis of statehood. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
