In the article are formulated the main features of civil society. Among them the most important is the social activity of the citizens. It is characterized as low in modern Russia, which indicates the undeveloped nature of civil society. The reasons for this are analysed from a bio-social perspective. It is shown that for the effective functioning and development of civil society, certain types of energy should prevail in its structure. The biological mechanisms of the appearance of these types in the inertial phase are analyzed. It is concluded that the full functioning of civil society in the modern West was facilitated by the presence of leading Western ethnic groups in this phase and that the energy structure of Russian society is currently radically different from the energy structure of Western societies during the inertial phase. Therefore, the functioning of a full-fledged civil society in Russia seems unlikely in the near future. The forecast is that the formation of a full-fledged civil society in Russia is possible in the second half of this century.

In the article are considered questions of modern political processes within the framework of concepts that focus on the formation of individual and collective identity, conscious or unconscious, expressed in concentrated form, correlation themselves to certain social groups on the basis of different criteria. Within the theoretical approaches of F. Fukiyama, J. Gold-stone, and A. Hockshild, the author examines the emotional component of the group identification process and its significance for self-determination. The analysis of empirical data (observations and interviews) collected over the past six years on power coalitions and protest communities in Siberian cities leads to a preliminary conclusion about the formation of a new type of political identity. Its characteristic features are an increased emphasis on individual and collective emotional experiences that take precedence over traditional class, ethnic and territorial demands and goals, a focus on empathy rather than anger, a search for allies by feeling, not the interests. In the coming years, political generations will change by naturally and since the new generation was formed in fundamentally different conditions, got a different socialization than their predecessors, another serious transformation of social and political institutions is possible.

The study of the phenomenon of the emergence of vested interests, their place in the political system, as well as the concept of ‘lobbyism’ and the mechanisms of its legal regulation led to the conclusion that a model of state corporatism has developed in Russia, and a continental model of the legal regime-regulation of lobbying. Research had revealed the need to improve and establish new institutions for the articulation of group interests, the adoption of a law on lobbying and the establishment of a public register of lobbyists.
