Resources of Russian workers: controversies of industrial and information modernization

Abstract: 
The article is devoted to the study of resource workers in the Russian modernization. The reasons of Russian modernization failures could be, firstly, “double” modernization effect — when the movement toward its informational stage is performed while the industrial one is not finished — and, secondly, absence of persons responsible for modernization who really take some actions. From the Russian people’s point of view, the real actors of modernization are workers. However, this is workers who appear to be unprepared for stagnation of the industrial stage of modernization, on one hand, and, on the other hand, for the changes, offered by information society. During the years of reforms Russian workers’ skills turned out to be significantly deformed.
