Evolution of the Goals and Objectives of Russia’s State National Policy in the Context of Forming the Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the New Period

The Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1666, expires at the end of 2025. A long period of time has passed since the approval — almost 13 years. Many changes have taken place in the domestic and foreign policy of the state, in the legislation of the Russian Federation, and changes in the state national policy of the Russian Federation are overdue, which are expected to be reflected in the Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the new period. The article analyzes the changes in the provisions of the state national policy reflected in the 1996 Concept of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation, the Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, and the draft Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2036. The evolution of the goals and objectives of the strategic document and its conceptual framework is described; the problems are identified in the draft document, which are caused by the emergence of new challenges and threats to the national security of the Russian Federation. The shortcomings in the text of the draft Strategy for the period up to 2036, related to the description of the tools for implementing the state national policy of the Russian Federation and the ways to achieve the target indicators, are considered. The issues related to the approaches to solving the state national policy of the Russian Federation, including the interaction between public authorities and civil society institutions, and the strengthening of the regional component of the implementation of the state national policy, are questioned. It is concluded that the issues raised in the article are related to the need to finalize the draft Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2036 and will be proposed for discussion in the scientific community.
