So, among the main threats are: corruption, banditry, low living standards, rising protests and radicalism, as well as increased foreign political instability. The authors also studied promising ways and directions of counteracting the radical threats of our time with the aim of creating favorable conditions for the formation of the civil society institutions and the development of democratic and legal governance mechanisms. The main ways of stable development of the civil society institutions are considered: further improvement of the legal system and raising the level of legal culture of the population; democratic institutionalization of society; creating conditions for the development of the middle class; initiation of managerial conditions for the development of the middle class in the regions of the country by the federal government.
