Abstract
This article examines institutional models of post-service adaptation of officers of the Russian Armed Forces. The objective of the study is to analyze institutional models of post-service adaptation of retired officers of the Russian Armed Forces, including an analysis of foreign and domestic experiences of resocialization and the identification of institutional barriers in the Russian Federation. Methods: sociological survey (N = 413), interviews (N = 17), secondary data analysis, cluster and correlation analysis. The types of resocialization of retired officers (harmonious, hyperthymic, conformist, destructive) are identified, and key adaptation technologies (motivational, adaptive, communicative) that facilitate their integration into civilian life are classified. The results demonstrate the need to improve institutional support for resocialization.
