social structure of Russian society has five main layers.Higher layer - this is the ruling elite, as well as large businesses that can afford to provide financial independence.Among the representatives of the "apex" of Russian society is a fairly small part of the country's citizens.Between the elite and the middle class today is a layer that is only beginning to emerge.This is a different medium and small businesses, as well as managers and owners.The petty bourgeoisie can be attributed here also.
modern Russian society has created this social level, however, its development is extremely slow.People who are at this stage of development, have more money and benefits than the middle class.However, the financial independence they themselves have not yet provided.Some of them have the material means except to provide himself and his family financial security.
social structure of a modern Russian society has one the largest segment of the population - the base.He is so patchy that these people difficult to combine with each other, unless you consider their actions in perestoyki society and the level of prosperity.To this layer apply intellectuals, peasants, workers with good qualifications.There are people with higher education and professional without much education, but with some experience in their work.All of them are distinguished by the desire to adjust to the new structure of the company and to maintain its position.
social structure of Russian society has a lower layer.It is also quite colorful.It consists of low-skilled workers, as well as refugees and displaced persons.All these people have something in common.Namely - low income at a subsistence level.Some of these revenues fall and below.According to statistics, the majority of Russian society consists of a base and a lower layer.They are the so-called "people".The social structure of Russian society would be incomplete without the phenomenon, which is called "social bottom".Some researchers did not include this category of citizens in the general scheme.However, these people are also part of the society of modern Russia, their attitudes and behavior is caused by the relevant phenomena of reality.
Who is included in this category?Of course, this is the homeless, women of easy virtue, alcoholics and drug addicts.But also here, and should include representatives of the criminal environment, such as pimps.They live much better than their wards, and even than the middle class.However, their mentality is close to the bottom of the social ideologies.Also in this category should be counted among thieves, assassins and other "interesting" personalities.The bottom of society is isolated from all other classes.People who fall into this category, almost completely lost the skills of legitimate activities.Some of them are forced to lead such a life, and some are just used to it.
Change a man who found himself in such an environment, it is very difficult, and sometimes impossible.Some representatives of the social bottom is not against normal, but can not leave their addictions.Alignment of these people may be too vague to representatives of other social categories.After all, it is due to being in specific conditions.It can be brothels, prisons, shooting galleries, a variety of rooming house.It is noted that this group of people have a lot in common in their views on life.Not only the social structure of Russian society has a social bottom.This layer exists in all countries.And everywhere you can be followed by similar views on life.
