The problem of organizing geriatric care is attracting more and more attention of the health and social security authorities of developed countries, which is primarily due to the progressive aging of their population. According to UN statistical forecasts, in the industrialized countries of the world, the number of people aged 60 and over will increase by 54% in the period from 1970 to 2000, with an overall population growth of only 21%. According to the same data, the percentage of people over 60 years old in the Soviet Union during the same period will increase from 11.5 to 17, that is, more than 7b part of the country's population. Particularly numerous will be the contingents of the population aged 75 and over, who for health reasons are often deprived of the ability to self-service and who need well-organized medical and social assistance.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of the social security philosophy on the territory of the Russian state, where, as the authors show, the ideas about the need to ensure a decent level of existence for the individual and society have already been known since the beginning of the XIX century. The aim of the article is to trace how the understanding of security has changed in Russian science. The article uses the method of phenomenological and comparative analysis, with the help of which the study of domestic security concepts was carried out. The first task posed by the authors is to consider the discussion about safe development among pre-revolutionary authors, the result of which was the formation of an idea about the special role of the Russian state in ensuring the security of society. The second task is to consider the Soviet concept of security, centered round the concept of a state system for providing armed protection against external enemies. As the authors have shown, this concept was characterized by the refusal to take into account the influence of social, economic and spiritual factors of security. The third task was to analyze the post-Soviet concept of security, within which the relationship between society and the state was rethought, which ceased to interfere indefinitely in the social and personal spheres of life and rejected a simplified understanding of the problem of ensuring security, which for a long time was considered only as counteraction to external threats
