The article presents the results of a study of the middle class of the Russian region in terms of the manifestation of various types of social activity by actors. The emphasis on the analysis of social activity is motivated by the consideration of this attribute as a criterion for the allocation of the middle class in the post-industrial period. The research method – an in-depth focused interview through which two tasks are solved: identifying the degree of significance for informants of social activity and examples of its manifestation; determination of the degree of readiness to participate in the implementation of the innovation development strategy of the Tomsk Region and thereby act as a “driver” of social changes. Representatives of the middle class are included in the sample based on self-identification. It was revealed that the middle class of the Russian region is active in realising personal, but not social goals. Such a characteristic of the post-industrial middle class as the willingness to act as a driver of social development is not observed. Options are proposed for solving this problem related to the mechanisms of involving the middle class in regional planning and decision-making regarding generally significant issues.

俄罗斯地区主观中产阶级的社会活动：定性社会学研究的结果

本文介绍了对俄罗斯地区中产阶级的研究结果，该研究结果涉及行为者对各种社会活动的表现形式。之所以强调对社会活动的分析，是因为将这一属性视为后工业时期中产阶级分配的标准。研究方法——深入的集中访谈，通过它解决两个任务：确定社会活动信息提供者的重要性程度及其表现的例子；确定参与托木斯克地区创新发展战略实施的准备程度，从而充当社会变革的“驱动力”。中产阶级代表基于自我认同被纳入样本。据透露，俄罗斯地区的中产阶级积极实现个人目标，而不是社会目标。没有观察到后工业中产阶级愿意充当社会发展推动者的特征。提出了解决这一问题的方案，这些问题涉及让中产阶级参与区域规划和有关一般重大问题的决策的机制。
