Annotation: The article is devoted to understanding the transformation of the historical concept of the symphony of powers and the religious tradition of conciliarity of society. The successful application of these concepts and traditions is predicted in the reconstruction of their essence (but not forms) as the idea of harmonious cooperation of au- thorities for the sake of the common good, as well as popular unity in the organization of modern civil society and public authority. The basis of such reconstruction is seen to be traditional values and the achievements of scientific and technological progress while ensuring a balance of private, group and common interests. The long history of interaction between society and the authorities of our state makes it possible to assess the posi- tive and negative consequences of using certain approaches in various periods of Russia’s development. It is concluded that effective modernization of public authority is possible only in alliance with civil society, relying on the spiritual, moral and state-legal traditions of Russia using the achievements of world state-legal science and practice, as well as modern technologies.
