Freedom and dependence in a democratic society: the experience of understanding of the theme through the prism of Russian philosophy

Abstract

The article is devoted to the critical analysis of democratic order in society and the state. The article notes that in democratic society most legal mechanisms used for the prevention of criminal offences and of countering the evil in general are really ineffective. As a result, it becomes impossible to resist the negative trends if they support or depend on them a larger part of society.
