   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Статья «Демократия: от нормативного кризиса к новой парадигме» исследует глубинные причины хронического кризиса современных демократических институтов. Автор утверждает, что кризис носит не только институциональный, но и фундаментально концептуальный характер, будучи усугублён терминологической неопределённостью ключевых понятий. В статье вводится тезаурус, чётко разграничивающий нормативные и идеальные дефиниции таких концептов, как демократия, государство и народ. Центральный тезис заключается в том, что «нормативный кризис» и «родовая травма» демократии коренятся в противоречии между процедурой делегирования власти и доминирующим в обществе «макро-габитусом выживания». Посредством анализа механизмов культурной репродукции демонстрируется, что электоральная демократия систематически воспроизводит логику стагнации, блокируя социализацию инноваций и устойчивое развитие. В качестве выхода предлагается парадигма «Трансформационной демократии» — двухстадийная модель управляемого политического развития. Её ключевой элемент — принцип добровольной самоселекции электората, призванный структурно повысить уровень политической культуры и создать условия для перехода к «Демократии_2» — идеалу неотчуждаемого и постоянно актуализируемого народовластия. Статья представляет собой путь от диагностики концептуального тупика к проектированию стратегического выхода.</p>

   <trans-abstract xml:lang="en">
    <p>The article “Democracy: From the Normative Crisis to a New Paradigm” explores the profound causes of the chronic crisis afflicting modern democratic institutions. The author argues that the crisis is not only institutional but also fundamentally conceptual, exacerbated by the terminological ambiguity of key notions. A thesaurus is introduced, clearly distinguishing between normative and ideal definitions of concepts such as democracy, state, and the people (demos). The central thesis posits that the “normative crisis” and “original trauma” of democracy stem from the contradiction between the procedure of delegating power and the dominant “macro-habitus of survival” in society. Through an analysis of cultural reproduction mechanisms, it is demonstrated that electoral democracy systematically perpetuates a logic of stagnation, blocking the socialization of innovations and sustainable development. As a solution, the paradigm of “Transformational Democracy” is proposed — a two-stage model of managed political development. Its key element is the principle of voluntary self-selection of the electorate, designed to structurally elevate the level of political culture and create conditions for a transition to “Democracy_2” — the ideal of inalienable and constantly actualized popular sovereignty. The article charts a path from diagnosing a conceptual impasse to designing a strategic way forward.</p>
