The book examines the humanitarian crisis in post-Soviet Russia using the example of the education system. The analysis is carried out using psycholinguistic experimental methods on the latest materials collected in recent decades by a team of scientists from the Institute of Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the IFL SB RAS in cooperation with leading universities in the regions of Russia. Techniques for identifying the dynamics of semantic accentuations (psychogloss) in the content of the processes of identifying the Russian linguistic personality according to the data of the associative-verbal network are shown. The author raises the question of strategic miscalculations of education reform related to the insurmountable consequences of its destructive part, especially the conditions created for the erosion of sociocultural (civilizational), civil and professional identities.
