Popis: The collapse of the Soviet Union had numerous consequences for all its constituent republics. The analysis of these elements of social reality is implemented in the context of the institutional component. These were both constructive and destructive. These consist in the transformation of existing, both official and unofficial, laws and norms of interaction in the direction of utilitarianism. But if in Russia this was done through a total rejection of such elements of social existence, then Belarus tried to combine aspects of the organization of social life under socialism with the new conditions of capitalist reality. The unique results obtained in each society had their own positive and negative consequences. They affected all spheres of public life. Each of the subjects of such a Union reacted differently to the new conditions. Similar processes in Belarusian and Russian societies are of considerable interest in the context of analysis of transformational mechanisms of public administration. This is possible because of the territorial location of these States, as well as the cultural and historical similarity of their peoples. Transformations of previously existing management models, in accordance with the new conditions, are presented as a specific response of each social system to the challenges of the external environment. The most significant of them are functional utility in specific historical conditions, as well as proximity to the norms and values of the corresponding society. Then presented results of the analysis of the mechanism of formation of new internal conditions will allow, in the author’s opinion, in the future to implement a more extensive analysis of the processes occurring in the countries of the former Soviet Union.
