Abstract
Aim. To study the process of formation of Russian civil identity as a cultural and civilizational phenomenon in its historical retrospective, to identify the origins and main stages of development.
Methodology. The main content of the study is an analysis of the process of interaction between peoples and their cultures at different stages of the development of Russian society, the characteristics of each of them, the role of objective and subjective factors. When conducting the research, the modernist and civilizational approaches to studying historical processes were used.
Results. It has been confirmed that the formation of Russian civil identity is a natural result of the development of Russian society as a Eurasian cultural and civilizational phenomenon. The author comes to the conclusion that the constant spatial expansion of the territory the Russian state was determined by a number of objective factors, the most important among which is the need for defense against external threats due to the lack of natural protection in the form of powerful mountain systems, large expanses of water, etc. But this required the ruling Russian elites to be able to find mutually acceptable forms and methods of interaction with the peoples living in the newly annexed territories, first of all, preserving their cultural and historical identity.
Research implication. The forms and methods of interaction between peoples and their cultures at various stages of the development of Russian society have been studied, both material and spiritual factors that determine the similarity of interests of different ethnic groups have been identified. The author’s interpretations of such categories as the Eurasian cultural and civilizational phenomenon, Eurasian civil identity, the content of the cultural and civilizational code, agricultural cultures, nomadic cultures are introduced.
