Creativity as an Alternative for the Liberal Way of Modernization

Abstract

The article concludes that there is no possibility of Russia’s deep modernization due to the impossibility to fully implement the liberal project, since this will lead to the disintegration of a unified state. The conclusion is made on the basis of understanding the historical path of modern Russia. The country joined once again its traditional way of periodic change of shallow liberal reforms with conservative counter-reforms. To break this cyclic sequence it is necessary to create the own attractive project of the future based on new world outlooks. As such a project, the article proposes the creation of a society based on a creative worldview that will be more effective than liberal. The creation of new ideas and the new reality based on them will be its mail goal.
