The attitude to power: trends and contradictions

The attitude to power turns out to be though latent, but actually existing force, which gives a vector of social and political changes in the society. The dominant social model of attitude to authority gives the direction to the real political process. According to the results of the sociological research, the traditional model of the power perception in Russia has always been and remains the dominant one, and can be described by such parameters as power personification, centralization, hierarchy, and autocracy. Consequently, the population expects the current government conforming to these parameters based on their ideas, but not on the Constitution, which contradicts such ideas.
