Abstract
The article is devoted to the problem of overcoming the situation of spiritual crisis in the ranks of modern Russian youth caused by the transformation of the traditional Russian culture of love. The author connects the possibility of overcoming the spiritual crisis with the appeal to the works of representatives of Russian religious thought of the 19-20th centuries, who revealed the meaning and purpose of love and justified the need to spread the values of "love thy neighbor" and love for country among the Russian "intelligentsia" in religious and political terms. The study of several works by V.S. Solovyov, S.N. Bulgakov, S.L. Frank, as well as the analysis of sociological survey data of recent years allows the author to highlight a number of obstacles standing in the way of spreading the values of "love thy neighbor" and patriotism and determine their relevance for modern Russia. An appeal to the works of thinkers of the past allows us to outline ways of returning the traditional concept of love in Russia by overcoming the obstacles to the popularization of these values for the consolidation of Russian society and its further prosperous development.
