Postmodernity and Traditional Russian Identity
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines the influence of postmodern trends on the formation and transformation of Russian na-tional identity. The authors analyze how processes such as globalization, cultural homogenization, and com-munity fragmentation affect Russia’s traditional values and cultural codes. Particular attention is paid to the contradictions between globalist values and the desire to preserve national sovereignty and cultural unique-ness. The role of patriotism and national identity in the context of metamodernism is explored, emphasizing the importance of spiritual and material values for internal societal cohesion and sustainable development. The authors conclude that national identity, based on the recognition of cultural diversity and historical experience, is a key factor in overcoming the crises associated with the challenges of postmodernism. The article also high-lights the resurgence of patriotism as a value-based institution that fosters integration and solidarity within mul-tiethnic communities. The successful development of national identity contributes to the strengthening of sov-ereignty and genuine multiculturalism, the formation of a new universal content based on the best examples of the development of various civilizations and ideological systems. Furthermore, the necessity of a robust ideo-logical foundation is underscored to counter external influences and soft power tactics, ensuring the preserva-tion and progressive development of national territories as historically established geocultural spaces.
