Development of Domestic Patriotic Entrepreneurship and the Question of Social Support of Power in Post-Soviet and Modern Russia

Russian patriotic entrepreneurship is a poorly studied question both in theoretical and practical aspects. In this article, Russian patriotic entrepreneurship is considered as a social group, as part of the social support of the modern Russian political regime in the context of the formation of business patriotism in Russia. The aim of this article is to investigate the issue of social support for power in post-Soviet and modern Russia in the context of the emergence of patriotic entrepreneurship as a result of the development of Russia’s political system. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that patriotic entrepreneurship is considered, firstly, as part of the social support, and secondly, as one of the products of the transformation of the current Russian political system. It is shown that due to the peculiarities of their economic, social, political, legal interests and their implementation, patriotic enterprises are part of the social support of the modern Russian political regime. In other words, patriotic entrepreneurs are one of the social groups of the Russian population that ensure the existence and legitimacy of the modern Russian political system.
