Historical cycles in Russian sociodynamics: a historiosophical analysis

The article discusses the cyclic-wave patterns of the development of the state and society in Russian sociodynamics. We draw attention to the conceptual approaches of the Russian historiosophical thought, which reveal the nature, duration and prognostic potential of cycles, waves and rhythms in the social development of Russia.It is noted that at the end of the 20th century, Eurocentric approaches to the modernization of Russian society were widely used in social sciences, according to which Russia in its progressive development is designed to catch up with Western countries.In conclusion, we have proposed a non-linear interpretation of Russian sociodynamics through the prism of changing political orders in the Russian historical process. This concept is designed to discard the theory of dependence on the West and pay attention to the self-similar logic of the development of the Russian historical process.
