Abstract
The article raises the problem of establishment and further development of modern civil society in Russia, its institutions and possible conciliation of members’ interests in the context of the income gap and various reality-reflection psycho-social matrices. The paper also pays much attention to scientific and expert discourse. Analyzing various approaches to assessing the importance of civil society development in the works of Russian and foreign researchers, the authors make an attempt to extrapolate these developments and adjust them to the conditions of modern Russia. The article proves that the problems of poverty and strong socio-economic stratification can be overcome without the development of the civil society institution in modern Russia. The authors provide the findings of the time series of VTsIOM (The All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center) polls by indices of social well-being and the number of publications on poverty issues in the Russian mass media, which show a correlation from 2012 till 2018. From the 4th quarter of 2018, the problem of media poverty is highly discussed and no longer correlates with VTsIOM research.
