Abstract
The article presents conceptual apparatus and a system of principals (postulates) concerning structure and dynamics of social and mental structures: habits, activating frames, symbols, identity and behavioral stereotypes, interactive rituals, social institutes and communities, principals of choosing strategy by actors. These theoretical constructions are used for explanation of historical patterns of Russian cycles. The agenda expressed in these terms is the orientation on considerable shifts in these patterns as overcoming harmful cyclicity of Russian history.
