The article is devoted to the problems of Russia’s civilization choice, which are con- sidered in the context of methodological synthesis of the existential and post- structuralist philosophical paradigms. We substantiate the scientific correctness and practical usefulness of such extrapolation based on M. Heidegger's doctrine of existen- tials, the phenomenological principle of "horizon-consciousness" developed by E. Husserl, and the concept of J. P. Sartre on self-determination of a human and his na- ture. The article discusses the bipolarity of Russia's "cultural code" as a promising or- ganic synthesis of Western and Eastern "modes" of Russian civilization in the context of post-structuralist methods of considering political ideologies (dividing individuals and peoples) as illusory semantic constructions, which do not have any representative significance in relation to reality. The article raises the problem of social and philo- sophical search for a methodology that allow disclosing the existential nature of hu- man sociality, which is a sphere of realizing the human modes of being (according to M. Heidegger), such as freedom, responsibility and search for self-actualization (in the light of personal and absolute goals and meanings) in the face of death and finiteness.
