Cultural and spiritual-moral foundations of managing the national defense of the Russian Federation in the context of the present-day interstate confrontation

Abstract

The article examines the present-day activities of the national defense department of the Russian Federation to ensure a comprehensive protection of an individual, society and the state in all spheres of life of the Russian society. Particular attention is paid to the issues of ensuring protection and security in the cultural, spiritual and moral spheres, the importance of which has increased immeasurably in the third decade of the 21st century. This is determined by the fact that in the conditions of the present-day interstate confrontation and the special military operation conducted by Russia to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, the collective West led by the United States, seeking to maintain its leading position in the world system, pursues a targeted and multi-vector sanctions policy towards Russia so as not to only slow down the socio-economic development of the Russian society, to change the political regime and destroy the state sovereignty, but also to impose neoliberal and non-traditional values on the Russian citizens, to falsify the historical role of the Russian state and the Russian people in world history. The analysis of the destructive policy of the United States and its allies made it possible to determine the measures to counter the destructive cultural, spiritual and moral impact, to identify the tasks that need to be solved by the state authorities in their activities to ensure the national defense of Russia and the Russian society.
