Political-Economic Dilemma: From Comprador Capitalism to the "Aristocracy of the Spirit" The local expert community continues its ongoing search for an ideal development model, gradually moving towards left-wing conservatism. Economist Sergey Bachikov, in his policy article, reflects the inevitability of Russia's return to the socialist model and the planned economy (the new State Planning Commission) against the background of the exhaustion of the capitalist system. According to the author, the challenges of the time require not only cosmetic reforms, but a radical transformation of the ruling class - the transformation of the current pragmatic "elite" into a patriotic "aristocracy of the spirit" and "Preobrazhentsy". The integration of the veterans of the Northern Military District into government structures and the change of the economic bloc to supporters of the ideology of accelerated growth are considered a catalyst for change, supported by data from sociologists on the growth of Russians' sympathy for the Soviet past.
