Abstract

After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Russia became much more open to global economic, social, and cultural processes. In the Russian pedagogy of the last decade of the 20th century the processes of the post-Soviet de-ideologization were dominant. Apart from the direct impact of the West, the country has experienced the influence of trends inspired by post-modernist crisis of humanistic (“European”) values and new post-secular type of relations between civil society, state, and religion. As a “side effect” of the dismantling of the communist educational system, as well as the utmost openness to the Western influence, the younger generation in Russia developed the ideals and patterns of an individualistic personality free from the traditional moral values and obligations to the society.
