Modernization paradigm was formed in the mid-twentieth century, the disintegration of the European colonial empires and the emergence of a large number of "young nations" in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Vozniknuvshey initially in the bosom of the University of Science USA, modernization theory were created as an alternative to the communist orientation. Modernization theory developed in the framework of a special "progressivist" style of thinking, methodology which is based on the assumption that history is moving toward the heights of progress by overcoming the manifold social structure to a single rational dispensation future. At the same time every single human community is on the way, common to all, the direction and guidelines which determine the most developed countries.

Despite this, Russian society remains fully integrated the social and psychological boost, which can be called the will to modernize.

During these 20 years, lost much advanced thinking skills - the leaders of different levels of government cannot see what will happen tomorrow.
