The article analyzes the system of relations of bribes, bribery and corruption, ways to turn bribery into corruption and vice versa. Proves the thesis that corruption is such a system and method of producing bribery, which is based on a certain form of ownership of power and freedom. The liberation of freedom from freedom and the establishment of power over power and society opens in corruption its essence power coercion to the lack of freedom. It mediates the process of mastering the society of their freedom. As a result, society becomes a universal subject of corruption.

Purpose. To identify major principles of cooperation between the society and the state in conditions of the Post-Soviet Thermidor. To outline significant procedures and mechanisms of development in the system of public production of the so-called “silent majority” and methods of its opposition to modern elites. Methods. As a methodological basis, the author uses Jean Baudrillard’s concept on simulacra and hyper-reality. Scientific novelty. The author determined the major principles and mechanisms of the “silent majority” development in the conditions of the Post-Soviet Thermidor. He also reveals its place in the system of reproduction and renewal of the Post-Soviet history and the role in the process of “pataphysical death” of the modern Russian elites. The author analyzed key regularities of “neutralizing” of their freedoms by the “silent majority”.

Purpose. Reconstruction of the main forms (generating model, code, subject (actor)) of the Soviet state-civilization in conditions of the post-Soviet Thermidor. Interpretation of nature of the Thermidorian coup in modern Russia and of place the anti-corruption revolution takes in this process. Determination of the fundamentally new forms of identification and sovereignization of the Russian history. Methods. As a methodological basis of the research J.Baudrillard’s ideas on implosion and pataphysical death of the complex social systems are used. Scientific novelty. The role and place of the Soviet state-civilization in the post-Soviet Thermodor are identified. The specific logic is revealed of its transformation into a hyper-simulacrum that through implosion commits a symbolic “suicide” denationalization of the state-popular, state-powerful, state-national sovereignization, as a result of which a real possibility of self-development for the relatively independent Russian state and the Russian civilization emerges. The idea of three fundamentally new forms of the Russian history identification historical, civilizational and global is also substantiated.

Purpose. Reconstruction of the main ideological (the Russian state-civilization) and practical (Soviet state-civilization) forms of historical self-identification of the modern Russian society. Determination of the place and role of corruption in the process of self-determination of the Post-Soviet Thermidor. Explanation of consistency and identification of various forms of modern Russia sovereignization, reasons and sources of anti-corruption revolution. Methods. As a methodological basis of the research the author uses the theory of civiliazional development by S. Huntington and methodological constructs of the hyper reality and simulacra theory by J. Baudrillard. Scientific novelty. Results and practical significance. The author analysed theoretical and ideological sources of forming an idea of the Russian Soviet State-Civilization, reconstructed the main laws (“genetic code” and “generative model”) of historical self-identification of the Soviet State-Civilization. Historical modifications of the Soviet corruption are determined as tools of manifestation of those laws in conditions of the Post-Soviet Thermidor. The author critically analysed various models of suvereignisation (self-identification) of the modern Russian society. He substantiated an idea concerning the transition from historical self-identification of the Soviet State to historical identification through anti-corruption revolution.

Purpose. Reconstruction of the main mechanisms and procedures for the development of contemporary Russian society. Analysis of key laws governing the transition from the anti-totalitarian revolution to post-Soviet Thermidor and procedures to manage its unfreedom. Methods. As a methodological basis of the research used a theoretical model of «disciplinary society» Foucault. Results and practical significance. The main mechanisms of disciplining contemporary Russian society defined administration and corruption. They form the administrative reality of post-Soviet Thermidor and are key technologies to manage its unfreedom. At the heart of the unfree development of modern Russian society are special administrative corruption procedures that are in a specific form and replace universal disciplinary mechanisms of its development. Scientific novelty. Manage unfreedom modern Russian society in post-Soviet Thermidor is the main method and tool for its functioning and updates. It is accomplished by the systematic development of freedom of power, which with the help of such universal disciplinary tools such as «functional inversion», «swarming», «state control», forms a special administrative reality of post-Soviet society.
