The monograph examines the typology and historical implementation of power transformation as a change in ideology and senior management in the state. It has been revealed that coups, revolutions, and legitimate ideological inversions are subject to certain patterns. They can be used for current political science analysis of political processes ongoing in society and the state, for political forecasting and the formation of public policy. It is shown that in modern Russia the problem of political bifurcation in the space between further “orange” expansion and degradation of the country and its true modernization is becoming more urgent. For teachers of political science, history, public administration, graduate students and students.
