Abstract

In Russian society the methodological study construct of professional dynasties is based on: 1) the premise of the dynasty model as a reproduction professional monopoly mechanism, which is based on primordial characteristics; 2) the assessment of professional dynasties as an archaic construct of securing advantages in social competition; 3) dynasties presuppose the formation and reproduction of micro-local networks in the professional sphere and the specific mechanisms of status capital transmission; 4) in the context of structural and functional transformations, destruction and replacement of social institutions in the society, dynastic succession often takes place not on a professional, but on a kratic basis; 5) the accumulated and transmittable status capital allows dynasty's representatives to carry out transprofessional mobility; 6) in a society the socio-economic potential of professional dynasties is ambivalent and manifests itself at the socio-structural, institutional and socio-cultural levels; 7) in professional dynasties the transmission of social positions can be typologized on the basis of activity/passivity of status inheritance and horizontal/vertical socio-professional advancement.
Keywords:
