Conservative realism as the ideology of the modern state cultural policy of Russia

Socio cultural activity is considered as a tool for the implementation of state cultural policy, ensuring the transfer from generation to generation of traditional values and norms for Russian civilization, creating conditions for moral and patriotic education of young people, strengthening civic identity. The ideology of the modern cultural policy, according to the authors, should be the concept of conservative realism, based on the interpretation of the conservative approach proposed by the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin as a reliance «on a time tested tradition, the preservation and multiplication of the population, realism in assessing oneself and others, the exact alignment of a system of priorities, the correlation of the necessary and possible, calculating formulation of the goal, a principled rejection of extremism as a way of acting». The training of managers of socio cultural activities, as active subjects of socio cultural initiative, in these conditions should ensure the formation of graduates' ability to identify themselves in national, cultural and social terms, share the key values of national culture, realize the cultural code of Russian civilization and dominate the struggle for the ideological positions of the state.
