Abstract
Alm.To provide and justify principles that determine the importance of socio, national and intellectual unity, stipulated by values and world outlook of Russian society throughout the 20th and the early 21st centuries, and to evaluate the impact of external and internal geopolitical factors on the idea of state unity.
Methodology.To achieve this goal the author uses the communicative method, giving the grounds for various ideas and comparing them in different situations; interdisciplinary method, involvingallied sciences in the research work; structural, functional and systemic approaches. Structural and functional approaches reveal the internal arrangement and activities of various social systems. The systemic approach allows to analyse comprehensively the studied objects and phenomena, as well as the so-called "theory of agenda control", which represents "intellectual dominance in the public space".
Results. Connection between the idea of the civil society unity and the state stable evolution is studied and proved. Solutions and directions in discussing the importance of the idea of state and social unity in society are proposed.
Research implications. No doubt that shaping ideological unity of society can ensure a stable evolution of the state. The study of this issue focuses on possible consequences of public discourse on the problem of state unity.
