Introduction. The deepening and increasing complexity of transitional processes caused by a strategic rejection of the model of pro-Western socio-political convergence and a shift toward a course of comprehensive civilizational sovereignization characterize the current stage of development of Russian society and the state. The intensification of geopolitical confrontation, military-political risks, sanctions pressure, and internal structural imbalances has exacerbated the problem of the effectiveness of public administration and the quality of ruling elites. Under these circumstances, the substantive and value-oriented aspects of political and managerial agency become especially important, thereby enhancing the relevance of elitological concepts as essential instruments for analyzing and predicting political evolution. Of special scientific and practical relevance is the study of the civilizational conditionality of the elite-formation process and the possibilities of its transformation within the emerging model of the «state-civilization,» aimed at mobilizing the internal potential of Russian society and ensuring the long-term sustainability of national development.The purpose of the study is to conceptualize the civilizational conditionality of the elite-formation process in contemporary Russia, as well as to identify the conditions for enhancing the effectiveness of political and managerial agency in the context of the strategy of state-civilizational sovereignization.The methodological framework of the study is based on the political-elitological paradigm and the civilizational approach. The research employs methods of doctrinal analysis, comparative-historical and systems approaches, and the results of an interregional expert survey conducted in 2024, aimed at assessing the state and value orientations of contemporary Russian political elites.Results. The study demonstrates that the previously dominant universalist elitological mainstream is losing its relevance under conditions of a shift in Russia’s political course. The authors present a critical assessment of the limitations of administrative-bureaucratic governance mechanisms and elites oriented toward private and situational interests. The necessity of a civilizational re-norming of the elite-formation process is substantiated, including the principles of public service, responsibility, professionalism, patriotism, and acmeological selection. The authors’ vision of civilizational elite specificity is presented as a key factor in unlocking the mobilization potential of Russian society.Conclusions. The article argues that the successful implementation of the «state-civilization» model is impossible without the formation of civilizationally oriented political elites. The activation of the mobilization capabilities of Russian society based on civilizational identity and sovereignty is regarded as a necessary condition for overcoming contemporary and potentially emerging risks and threats.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of the digitalization process influence on the formation of a new political elites generation. The key theoretical points in the development of this concept are considered. The relevance lies in the fact that the development of political elites within the framework of traditional concepts has come to its logical historical conclusion. Fundamentally new mechanisms for the selection and professionalization of subjects of elite groups are required. Purpose. To analyze the essence of the so-called "digital elite", to identify its fundamental differences from the previous types of elite communities. The development of the concept and practice of the "digital elite" is largely determined by how its essence is understood by the political leadership itself; how the political leadership itself sees itself as this very "digital elite". Methods. The methodological basis includes the analysis of elitological theories, which involves the use of such methods as dialectics, comparative studies, hermeneutics and semiotics. Results. It was revealed that the development of AI creates both certain benefits and specific risks for the practices of elites, and contributes to the growth of qualitative changes in their professional competencies. The results obtained may be useful for specialists in the field of political science and the implementation of new personnel policies. Conclusions. The formation of the "digital elite" is associated with the formation of a new hierarchy, new relationships within the elite groups themselves and their relationships with political leaders. The manipulative part of politics is intensifying, which in turn indicates an increase in dependence on carnival political culture. Openly speculative "theories" are growing around the "digital elite" itself, which indicates a very contradictory process of the formation of its reality itself. In the "digital elite", only the outline of its general features is outlined, the criteria of which require constant clarification.
