Abstract
The article shows that the modern matrix of bureaucracy analysis includes many topics and aspects that allow us to study the phenomenon of bureaucracy in its interrelations with all spheres of social reality and politics. The main interest of the state bureaucracy in any country (including Russia and Egypt) is the collective consolidation of its own positions. This interest connects all levels of bureaucracy, and does not change under the democratic structure of the state. The revolution of the 20th century in the countries of the second world could not implement programs to overcome the bureaucracy, although they tried to break the state machine. During the period of “perestroika”, a number of major theoretical and practical problems were posed in the USSR, none of which have been resolved in Russia. The 1952 revolution turned Egypt into a socialist republic and at the same time led to the reanimation of the ancient system of governing the country. The current situation in Egypt and in Russia leads to the preference of the model of K. Wittfogel to other traditions of the bureaucracy’s study. To develop this model, it is proposed to use the cognitive innovations of the Rostov Political Science School.
