Political Satire of M . Zadornov as a Tool for Patriotic Mobilization of the Russian Society in 2000–2010 Years

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the national policy problems in Russia in the 2000s. It examines such concepts as “cultural and supranational identity”, “ideology”, “spontaneous patriotism” and “patriotic mobilisation”. Periods of “perestroika” and “shock therapy” seriously influenced not only the socioeconomic state of society but also served as an impetus for the collapse of cultural identity, liberalisation of ideological orientations. It also had severe cultural and psychological consequences for Russian society, expressed in the loss of self-esteem, patriotism and the emergence of a complex of national inferiority. The article examines the features of the revival of cultural identity and patriotic mobilisation on the example of the Russian government’s action in 2000–2010, as well as the influence of informal tools for the formation and implementation of national policy through the ideological reprogramming of society using political satire of M. N. Zadornov.
