Abstract
The article discusses to the study of the image of an ideal parliament that has developed in the political consciousness of Russian citizens and includes cognitive, emotional, and dynamic elements. The normative images of political leaders and institutions of power are fundamental for citizens’ choice of an ideological platform for political participation and, ultimately, affect their actual behaviour at the present time. Constructing an image of the future, of which the studied phenomena of mass consciousness are a part, is the most important task of state policy at the present stage in the face of challenges in the domestic political environment, geopolitical risks, and crises. A purposeful, consolidated information policy is required to form a clear image of the future crystallising consistent historical, cultural, political, and ideological constants that have a strong connection with the past and reliance on the present. The revealed contradictions and informational gaps make it possible to give specific recommendations to the state authorities that ensure the retransmission of political and cultural meanings to Russian society.
