Undivided heritage of the Ancient Rus (on the Celebration of the 1150th Anniversary of Russian Statehood)

The article reveals the policy of “privatization” of the history of ancient by today's leaders of the Russian Federation in the context of the celebration of their anniversary 1150th anniversary of Russian statehood. Instead of it an alternative version of the origin of Russia at an angle of world-systems analysis is proposed. The history of a society is an open system, and its development is not fatally doomed - there is always an alternative, not to mention the case of the game. This statement is particularly important now, when we are in the state of choice which depends on each of us. It is noted that the history of Ukraine is a kind of illustration of the complexity and ambiguity of the main socio-cultural manifestations of the law - to determine the degree of civilization in the process of combining the specificity of cultural and social practices. The main dialectical contradiction, which was inherent in the gene pool of the Ukrainian people, which was formed after the collapse of Russia, was the fact that inherited mostly eastern, Greek-Byzantine religious and cultural traditions, through the influence of historical circumstances, should find an adequate response to the challenge from the public the political system of the West.
