Methodology of Stratification Research of Modern Civil Society in Russia

The subject matter of the research is the genesis of the methodology of stratification of modern civil society in Russia. The objective of the research is to analyze the methods of studying socium and isolating the strata of modern civil society. The methodology of the research is based on general and special methods of scientific knowledge: generalization, comparison, structural-functional (system) analysis. This article considers a wide range of parameters, combined in the factors of stratification such as political loyalty, economic well-being of the region and social tension. The stratum of modern civil society is treated as a form of classification of civil society, graded by focal features, characterizing the form of the state and its social structure: social, economic, cultural needs, political priorities; educational level; types of elitism; social guarantees of the state; gradation of consumption balance; activity in the protection of legitimate interests, rights and freedoms; conflictogenity of the socium [1, 2]. Social stratification is considered from the point of view of differentiation of large elements of the social structure of society into strata (layers), expressing their social ranking by income, education, status, social prestige and other objective and subjective criteria. The novelty of the research is determined by: Correlation of groups of factors (social, political, economic) and their weight significance in the formation and the conciliation of civil society strata interests; The introduction of the concept into the scientific use, the definition of the structural elements of the modern Russian socio-political public formation; presentation of its interdisciplinary evaluation in the context of analysis of socio-political problems of aligning the interests of strata of modern civil society in the Russian Federation; Study of the genesis of the stratification of civil society on the basis of the current characteristics of its strata for developing an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing the forms and intensity of social and political conflict, the problems of reconciling interests.
