Sociocultural, historical and ideological origins of the barbarization of Russian culture

The article deals with the sociocultural, historical and ideological background for the development of the basic principles of cultural interaction and communication. We have analyzed socio-cultural processes in modern Russian society, which includes interpersonal, interethnic and interfaith communication, sociocultural tradition. The article dis-cusses revolutionary changes that had a significant impact on national memory, personal and social consciousness. In our opinion, the global world outlook reorientation of public consciousness in the history of the Russian state took place under the influence of the sweeping socio-cultural reforms of Emperor Peter I, the October Revolution of 1917, bolshevism and the totalitarian rule, the unification of culture and lifestyle in the Soviet state, aggressive anti-religious propaganda, as well as break from sociocultural tradition and uncritical copying of Western experience in "perestroika".
