Modern Russian society is undergoing a transition from a paradigm of communistic ideology to an ideology which gives prominent recognition to historical national spiritual institutes. The multi-religious state is entering into the world arena, democratic in its religious aspect. The legal basis of this process are the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Civil code of the country, and the law “Concerning Freedom of Worship and Religious Associations”, as well as the regulations adopted in territorial units of the Russian Federation. Russian society includes more than sixty faiths in its religious space, the tasks and functions of which are connected with the need for spiritual education of members of society, elimination of contradictions between ethnic cultures and values, and the formation of a tolerant society. The general trend is toward the revival of religion, its organizations and associations, and a gradual release from dogmatism in world views, as well as the formation of democratic principles corresponding to the functioning of a civil society.

Współczesne społeczeństwo rosyjskie przechodzi przemiany świadomości społecznej od paradygmatu ideologii komunistycznej do ideologii głęboko zakorzenionej w tradycyjnych narodowych instytucjach sfery duchowej. Heterogeniczne pod względem religijnym państwo wprowadza demokratyczne zmiany w wymiarze światopoglądowym. Podstawą prawną tego procesu są postanowienia Konstytucji Federacji Rosyjskiej, prawo „Swobodnego zrzeszania się i stowarzyszeń religijnych”, jak również regulacje przyjęte przez podstawowe jednostki administracji terytorialnej Federacji Rosyjskiej. Aktualnie w społeczeństwie rosyjskim istnieje ponad sześćdziesiąt wyznań religijnych, których zadania i funkcje skoncentrowane są na potrzebach duchowej edukacji, eliminacji napięć pomiędzy różnymi kulturami i systemami wartości i kształtowaniu tolerancyjnego społeczeństwa. Obserwujemy generalny trend w kierunku odnowy religii z jej organizacjami i stowarzyszeniami oraz stopniowe odchodzenie od dogmatyzmu i formowanie demokratycznych zasad korespondujących z funkcjonowaniem społeczeństwa obywatelskiego.
