Abstract
This article examines the consequences of the Civil War, that had an impact on the life and functioning of the political system of Soviet society, as well as modern Russia. In the citizenries mass mind complex and contradictory processes are still going on. It indicates that the social split has not been completely overcome. Despite the large number of works devoted to the issues of the Civil War, it is not paid enough attention to the political, moral and mental consequences of the Civil War. This circumstance significantly hinders the process of national reconciliation on the most important issues of the country’s past and hinders the formation of socio-political unity of Russian society. The authors substantiate the need for a consolidated view of the Russian nation on the events of the Civil War, based on the absolute priority of the self-value of Russian statehood as the main form of survival of the people and the special mission of the unique Russian civilization in a multipolar world. In modern Russian society there is an extremely acute need to form a stable rejection of violent ways to resolve social problems and contradictions, radical methods of transforming various spheres of public life. The creation of an effective state-legal mechanism based on the development of a national consensus may prevent the repetition of such tragedies in the future of our country.
