Korolev, S. A. Pseudomorphosis as a form of development: the case of Russia

Abstract: Abstract: the article is devoted to the pseudomorphosis as a specific mechanism of development in the Russian history. The author identified the two forms of pseudomorphosis, the classical form described by Spengler and the “organic” form, the unique mirror reflection of the former. Special attention is paid to the role and place of disciplinary technologies in the structure of speudomorphic drivers in the government. In particular, the author showed that despite Spengler and a number of his followers, the government in Russia was characterized by the macro technological structure dominating over weak European disciplinary mechanisms.
