FORMATION OF THE ALL-RUSSIAN CIVIC IDENTITY THROUGH THE STUDY OF VALUES OF YOUNG PEOPLE

Abstract

The article discusses the role of social design, which is currently an effective mechanism for shaping the All-Russian civic identity, as it allows for the formulation and testing of productive tools for shaping the All-Russian civic identity within a limited timeframe. The authors note that psycholinguistic research, which allows for the clarification of diverse concepts, including values, is an important preliminary stage in social design. This was crucial for understanding how residents of individual regions define their homeland, as this is strategically important for understanding the identity of all peoples of Russia. The respondents were residents of the Chechen Republic (Grozny), the Republic of Dagestan (Makhachkala), the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (Nalchik), and Stavropol Krai (Pyatigorsk) aged 17 to 25 years. The selection of respondents in this age group was crucial, as in a few years they will become the core of society. As a specific example of social design, the theatrical production “Voices of Victory” is presented, which is a ready-made tool for the spiritual, moral, and civic-patriotic education of youth. To popularize this tool, we have developed a set of documents that allows us to scale our experience to any educational organization.
