Views and Political Position
He was not a member of political organizations. Any form of public activity - election campaigns, strikes, hunger strikes, rallies and so on - is of interest exclusively as a journalist. He calls his political views "bourgeois-liberal." He is a supporter of moderate progress within the framework of the rule of law: “No matter how ridiculous our wort roams, in the end is wine” [1] . He calls himself “a calm nationalist”, on this occasion he says: “Other nations will settle down themselves, but I would like us to live well” [8] .
In January 2003, together with Mikhail Leontyev , Alexander Privalov and Valery Fadeev, he signed the Memorandum of the Serafimov Club “From the politics of fear to the politics of growth” [9] .
He expressed his attitude towards the authorities during the upsurge of protests in 2011-2013: “I don’t feel any enthusiasm about the current government, but I have seen things that have caused even less enthusiasm” [10] . Maxim Sokolov illustrates his conservative position with the words of Pushkin , written after studying the history of the Pugachev revolt: “The best and most lasting changes are those that come from the gradual improvement of morals.” “And those who want all kinds of coups are either young and do not know our people, or people who are completely heartless, who have“ someone else’s head is half, and their own neck is a penny ” [11] .

- ↑ Literary critic Andrei Zorin wrote: “I think that the social and cultural role of Maxim Sokolov in the early 90s was no less than that played in the early 60s by Solzhenitsyn , and in the early 70s - Venedikt Erofeev . In the era of catastrophic changes, he set a way to understand reality and navigate it. [...] Maxim Sokolov broke the decades-old wall between culture and politics as discursive spheres, finding a rhetorical and intellectual way to combine the coherent political position of an active participant in the revolutionary process with the ironic detachment of a reflecting intellectual. ” Zorin A.
