Abstract
<jats:p>The article examines the problem of improving the quality of the elite within the research framework of the Rostov School of Elitology. The study aims to provide a socio-philosophical reflection on and identify prospects for enhancing elite quality by examining the essential-semantic and organizational-technological aspects of the activities of actors involved in the value-semantic dimension of state cultural policy in the Russian Federation. Within the scope of this research, elitogenesis is viewed as a system of continuous reproduction of the elite and the active inclusion of its members in current socio-political processes. The study posits that for the high-quality reproduction of elite capital, it is relevant to activate a “cultural imperative” aimed at forming a stable state-patriotic foundation for managerial cadres, aligned with the axiological guidelines of state cultural policy. The article analyzes the professional activities of various elite groups: political, cultural, and intellectual. The scientific novelty lies in the socio-philosophical interpretation of the conditions for constructing the elitogenesis landscape within public-political management in the Russian Federation. Consequently, the study substantiates the thesis that improving the personal quality of socio-political actors is directly linked to the transmission of the value-semantic content of state cultural policy into the process of training the new elite under contemporary conditions.</jats:p>
