Abstract. The article deals with the topical socio-philosophical and socio-anthropological problem of restoration of the matrix of traditional consciousness in modern Russian society. With the help of structural and functional analysis of Russian traditional consciousness and socio-anthropological model of 10 degrees of freedom as autonomy the system of basic practical principles is presented. These principles are actualized precisely in emergency situations and contribute to the reduction of the degree of freedom of the whole society. Restoration of the matrix of traditional consciousness becomes a complicated, dialectical problem for the Russian power (“paternal”) vertical, since it requires a significant restriction of opportunities for free self-realization of most citizens and even comes into conflict with the basic values of the “mother vertical” - preservation and continuation of the race. The long-term presence of society in such forced tension can cause social upheaval, while the short-term experience of an emergency situation suggests the development of ways of ideological adaptation in the form of such practical attitudes as “moderate fatalism,” “personal non-resistance to evil,” “harmony with nature” and “I can be useful to others. These attitudes allow us to build our own variable model of adaptation to the sharp decrease in the degree of personal and social freedom and to preserve the inner potential for a further return to a full creative life.
The article also considers the possible prospects of the modern implementation of the updated principles of the matrix of traditional consciousness, and identifies the most problematic and dangerous trends.
Key words: Russian society, matrix of traditional consciousness, power vertical, degrees of freedom, survival values, conflict, ways of adaptation.
