Abstract

The article research of the image of the near future in the election documents of political parties during the election campaign for the elections of deputies to the State Duma in 2021. The election programs of eight parties, public speeches of their leaders on the most pressing issues are considered. The parties were combined into two groups: “statists” and “private traders”, articulating polar approaches to the main vector of social development. At the same time, the general tactics of the parties in their attitude to the latest projects of the government and the president of the country were revealed. The method of content and discourse analysis revealed the meanings that the parties use in constructing the image of the future. The documents of the parties revealed a traditional set of problematic topics (fighting poverty and corruption, improving the efficiency of public administration, supporting education, health care and culture) without presenting a new original project for the near future.
