Abstract
The author of the article studies the phenomenon of a dissipative system, the patterns of functioning and development of social dissipative systems as well as their behavior in the bifurcation zone. The study is carried out through historical and sociological analysis of the specifics of the development of the Russian society during the transition period of the 1990s. A hypothesis is put forward that if the Russian society is a special case of a dissipative system, its development necessarily obeys the objective laws of development of dissipative systems; therefore, the dynamics of the system of the Russian society during a crisis period should correspond to the patterns of behavior of complex social dissipative systems in the bifurcation zone. Following the analysis of data from empirical sociological studies conducted in Russia at the end of the 20th century, the hypothesis is confirmed. A conclusion about the need for scientific substantiation of modern forecasts for the development of complex social systems through theoretical and methodological constructions of the general systems theory and the theory of self-organization is made.
