| Аннотация | The paper uses the database of the all-Russian sociological monitoring “How are you, Russia?” to analyze the dynamics of socio-political stability of Russian society as a criterion and indicator of the legitimacy publicly expressed by citizens to the State, creating conditions for decent life in the present and future. By analyzing theoretical foundations of stability, we show the dialectical nature of socio-political stability, its predetermination by the nature of the social structure, distributive relations and the implementation of the principles of social justice in society. Based on the analysis of empirical information, we show the alienation of the majority of Russian citizens from the neoliberal government model, an expressed preference for choosing a socially oriented type of government, which leads to the people’s demand for administrative socio-political management. The dynamics of satisfaction with the political system, the assessment by the population of the State’s fulfillment of social, including constitutional guarantees, prove a high degree of stability of Russian society; however, this stability is based on only four factors: ethno-territorial; defense (trust in the Army); complete trust in the RF President (Vladimir Putin); social support of the population by the State, provided for in the Constitution. The factor analysis reveals the importance of various groups of contradictions in Russian society (economic, ethno-religious, class-related) that affect socio-political stability. We identify the sustainability risk zones associated with a low level of institutional trust in most government institutions and civil society structures. Based on the findings of the study, we put forward recommendations to strengthen the socio-political stability of Russian society and the State
