Abstract

The article discusses how to form Russian identity in the army of contract servicemen on the basis of creating a cultural and educational space, the substantive direction of which is the mental-value world of Russian culture in a symbiosis of domestic pedagogical traditions and innovations of this time. The main pedagogical mechanism of translating external educational influences into internal values and meanings of army youth is cultural identification. The results obtained by the authors make it possible to increase the effectiveness of spiritual and moral education among military youth, and contribute to the formation of Russian identity. In the future, this paradigm may become one of the foundations for the formation and preservation of the spiritual and moral potential of educating army youth of such qualities that are historically inherent in the Russian military, such as patriotism, service to the Fatherland, and education of a person who is rooted in his small homeland, history and culture of Russia.
