DEFORMATION OF SOCIAL CAPITAL AS A FACTOR OF SOCIAL RISK DISTRIBUTION IN CONDITIONS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC INSTABILITY

The relevance of the topic under study is determined by the factors of economic and geopolitical instability that have a significant impact on the social well-being of modern Russian society. Under these conditions, the range of distribution of various social risks and deviant forms of behavior, for which the system of intangible values, called social capital, can become a deterrent, is significantly expanding. The purpose of the study is to search for the causes and identify the consequences of the destruction of social capital, to determine the key trajectories for solving these problems in the near future. Within the framework of the issues under consideration, general scientific methods of generalization, detailing, comparison, analysis and synthesis, including the analysis of statistical data, were applied. On the basis of the analysis, it was concluded that the growth of various forms of deviations is a consequence of a decrease in the level of development of the social capital of society. In addition, it is substantiated that in the absence of a competent approach to solving this problem, the considered pathologies begin to be perceived by society as the norm, resulting in the effect of social diffraction. The conclusions are drawn about the need to intensify the development of social capital to combat various kinds of asocial forms of behavior, strengthen the value system based on social solidarity and responsibility. These measures can significantly increase the level of consolidation of society, strengthen social ties, and develop the legal and moral consciousness of the population.
