Two attributive principles are inherent to society, which ensure social activities: order and creativity. These two principles are in constant conflict with each other, which forces society into searching for an optimal measure of their correlation. The birth of network structuring of society resulted in the need for such an order, which, while guaranteeing the stability of community life, is equipped with a certain mechanism for regulating the interactions of various private interests, which in turn demands an organic unity of public administration and community self-government. Due to Russia’s socio-cultural peculiarities, the country’s integrity together with public order is provided by the presence of a strong centralized state system, which hampers the implementation of democratic community self-government. This raises a certain question: is it possible for Russia’s existing model of power to undergo an evolutionary democratization during the process of its adaptation to an uprising practice of network connections and interactions?
