Observance of citizens’ rights and freedoms is the most important element of the political system, 
implemented in modern Russia. At the same time it is a necessary condition for its further improvement. 
It is necessary to take into account the hierarchy of importance of certain rights and freedoms for 
citizens. It is hierarchy that is a reflection of the corresponding norms and values in their legal 
awareness. Studies conducted within the framework of anthroposociocultural approach, developed by 
N.I. Lapin, show significant changes that have taken place in the hierarchy [Lapin, 2009: 772-775]. It 
evidences of evolution of the political system in Russia, as well as its value-regulatory elements. Yearslong studies identified significant regional differences in ideas of the population about the importance 
of rights and freedoms for population, as well as serious specificity in assessing the degree of their 
violation and possibility of protection [Lapin, 2009: 776]. In this regard, analysis of dynamics of the 
mentioned indicators, taking into account political preferences of the population of the large Siberian 
region is highly relevant. Similar studies from the standpoint of sociocultural approach, according to 
the similar method were carried out in different regions of the country [Belyaeva, 2008; Plekhanov, 
2014: 170-176; Modernization... 2012, etc.], culturological studies in Krasnoyarsk Krai has also 
demonstrated considerable heuristic potential [Koptseva, Zamaraeva, Sertakova, 2011: Koptseva, 
Il’beikina, 2012; Koptseva, 2012]. From our point of view, this issue can also be effectively analyzed 
from the standpoint of postnonclassical universum sociology [Nemirovsky, 1994: 23-29; Nemirovsky, 
2001].
