Discussion-Reflection "Heritage and Inheritance"

Discussion-Reflection
"Heritage and Inheritance"
(Open educational gathering "Civic Speech")

We will reflect on the processes in Russia and the civilized world: the generational shift from the “fathers” of the industrial era to the “children” of the emerging digital age.

What is happening to material and intangible assets? Are the “children” able to follow the “fathers’” legacies, or is there a revision of these legacies with new family and clan strategies emerging?

We will focus on Russia, which is undergoing radical socio-economic and political changes.

We will explore whether new social estates are forming: a new elite, aristocracy, or a nomenclature class.

To what extent are the concepts of “family,” “clan,” “nation,” and “people” present in this environment?
