Today, the world is undergoing a complex structural geopolitical shift. Russia, a country with a large economy, is facing unprecedented sanctions and information pressure, which are adversely affecting its economy, technology and social sphere. These economic sanctions are driving significant changes in the Russian business environment, resulting in the reconfiguration of business models and the redistribution of capital within the country. The departure of global brands from the market is causing shifts in the population's consumption patterns, while simultaneously altering the landscape of information policy. The population's uncertainty about its future is increasing. In the current environment, the civic, political and institutional characteristics of society play a crucial role in developing a systemic approach to accomplishing the state's national and societal goals. How are business and society responding to the current global processes? Which dimensions of social capital are most pertinent for researching and validating possible scenarios for the development of social processes? To what extent does stimulating government policy contribute to mitigating social tension and enhancing social guarantees for the population?
