ETHNIC IDENTIFICATION PROJECTIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN RUSSIAN POLITICAL CONSERVATIVE-TRADITIONALIST DOCTRINE

The article is devoted to the study of the meanings and functional manifestations of the ethno-identi-fication interests of Russian citizens and ethnic communities in a situation of change in the top political doctrine - from liberal-democratic to conservative-traditionalist. Successful processes of civil consolidation of Russians within the framework of the Russian multi-ethnic nation and the ethnocultural model of civil society are noted. At the same time, an objective basis for competition between ethnic groups, as well as interethnic contradictions and possible ethnic conflicts, is postulated. Possible ways to further optimize ethno-identifica-tion projections are proposed.
