The Influence of the Structure of Modern Russian Society on the Economy

The structure of modern Russian society, consisting, according to the authors, of four main aggregations, is considered. Among them there are “New Russians", "Old Russians", "The ruling elite" and "The swamp". The recoil from each aggregation is determined. The cumulative recoils from all aggregations were normalized on the population of the country, were compared with the real level of GDP per capita, and as a result, a satisfactory correlation was obtained. It has been established that this calculated indicator lags behind the real by more than four years, due to negative phenomena in public life.The structure of modern Russian society, consisting, according to the authors, of four main aggregations, is considered.
