The article considers the institutions that influence the development of an innovative society, in which the main profit is generated by the creation and development of new technologies and inventions. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the institutions that determine the formation and development of social capital in the country. Based on comparison, analysis, and analytical modeling, the paper identifies the problem of the existence of institutions in Russia that determine the passive attitude of citizens to the existing order of things and are unable to influence public authorities in order to improve the welfare of society. Based on the author's concept of economists D. Acemoglu, George. A. Robinson, which indicates a high degree of influence in the process of development of institutions in society (inclusive or extractive), the hypothesis was proposed that in Russia with large reserves of energy resources, mostly are extractive political and economic institutions, which entails a low level of self-organization of society. The hypothesis is confirmed by data from a study by the world Bank and the Levada center. In Russia, the Voice and Accountability index, which reflects the degree to which the population is provided with political rights and civil liberties, is 18,96 in a rating from 0 to 100, for comparison in the United States – 83,89. Data from the Yearbook "Public opinion" for 2019, confirm that in Russia, informal attitudes inherent in a society with extractive institutions prevail. The majority of society does not participate in self-government, 71 % of the population is not ready to take part in the work of public and political organizations in order to achieve changes for the better, 40 % of citizens believe that they are completely unable to influence the current phenomena and processes in the country. Having considered the points of view of economists whose work is devoted to the transformation of institutions, proposals were formulated to change the current situation, the essence of which is to diversify the economy.
