Nowadays RF have a lot of obstacles. The intense process of globalization, the rapid development of information technology, development of a new instruments of geo-cultural and ideological influence not only lead to problems in the way of expansion of the Russian world, but also to the need to enhance the security of the current geo-cultural space of Russian Federation and design its system concept. The author notes that the new internal doctrine of RF is penetrated by a nostalgia for a powerful state status. Its main task is to strengthen the unity of society by strengthening civic identity. Therefore we do not underestimate the practical importance of theoretical developments in cultural, ideological and informational spheres. The ideology which promoted by Russian state media includes the concept of «russkiy mir» that actually justify claims to territories which are inhabited by ethnic Russians. This idea appeals to the Orthodox fundamentalism, as well as the Eurasian geopolitical and historical myths of permanent confrontation between Russia and the West. The main reason for the success of ideological propaganda – in a primitive but effective substitution of concepts. In conclusion the author stresses that the process of forming a single geo-cultural world of the Russian Federation does not impose functional and effective integration ideology and current Russian civilization and socio-cultural projects are not attractive and competitive position to societies and elites of neighbor states but can be used to consolidate the political situation inside Russia.
