https://doi.org/10.32324/2412-8945-2024-2-08-15
Abstract
The article considers the main approaches to determining the causes of state disintegration, including clarification of the prerequisites of disintegration of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union as historical predecessors of the Russian Federation. The prerequisites for the disintegration of the Russian state, which were constantly reproduced in the past, are revealed. The analysis of the political and socio-economic situation in the country, formed in the conditions of the special military operation, allowed the authors to come to the conclusion that by now there are no preconditions for the disintegration of the Russian Federation.
