THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE AS A STRATEGIC FACTOR OF INTELLECTUAL SECURITY OF MODERN SOCIETY

A systematic analysis of the causes that gave rise to the modern crisis of civilization shows that one of them is a decrease in the intellectual potential of society, i.e. the ability of people, including the intellectual elite, to adequately understand, analyze and predict the possible consequences of their further development. The causes of this phenomenon have not been definitively established, although its existence and the relevance of the study do not cause doubts. It is obvious that we are talking about a humanitarian problem related to national and global security. The purpose of this work is to analyze the role of the Russian language in solving the problems of ensuring intellectual security in Russia and other countries. The main research methods used are the method of system analysis and an information approach that allows to reveal more deeply the essence of the cognitive potential of the Russian language and its significance for the development of the intellectual potential of the individual. It is shown that the Russian language has great cognitive potential, which can be effectively used in the conditions of a new global scientific and technological revolution and the formation of a knowledge society. Russian is considered to be a modern threat to the Russian language in Russia and in the world, in the post-Soviet space and abroad, including: the dominance of Anglicisms, criminalization of Russian speech, a decrease in the quality of teaching Russian language and literature, which does not contribute to the development of abstract and creative thinking abilities, weakening the position of philological education, which provides high quality education in general, as well as the connection of generations. Russian is a list of priority tasks that must be solved in order to preserve the Russian language as the most important factor of Russian culture and the intellectual potential of the individual in modern society. These include the improvement of the philological culture of modern Russian society. It is also concluded that Russia needs a new state policy of reunification of a divided nation, designed for the long term. And one of the tasks here should be the return of our former compatriots to their historical homeland. Russian language, Russian culture, and Russian language education preservation in the post-Soviet space is a necessary condition for the preservation of the national security of modern Russia in the future.
