SOCIETY’S TRANSFORMATIONS: DIALECTICS OF OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE FACTORS

Weimar has attracted the attention of the entire world more than once. First of all, when at the beginning of the 19th century it was deservedly called the “second Athens”, and Goethe joked that this city had 10 thousand poets and several residents. And, of course, the bourgeois republic, to which Weimar gave its name a century later, is widely known – and which could not “walk the razor's edge”, falling into nazism. The urge for freedom contains the germ of both directions of transformation. At the same time, on the one hand, the historical context often predetermines the objective canvas and factors of change. On the other hand, the nature of actions in these conditions shows a significant role of both ruling groups and institutions of society, and folk traditions, and social memory. The accomplishment of comprehensive progress in a harmonious form requires an increase in the level of education, upbringing, patriotism, and civic activity of each. Socio-cultural dynamics disrupt previous equilibria; new conditions force us to update previously achieved conditions [1-5].
