The authors attempt at evaluation of alternative choices and two theoretical and ideological concepts which explain how states are formed in the modern multi-ethnic space. The comparison made allows formulating their advantages and disadvantages, related to the continued existence of the multi-ethnic world. The authors conclude that the further development of Russian civilizational identity will depend on the ability to find harmony between an emerging multinational self-awareness and a willingness to engage in dialogue with other cultures, as well as between the desire to preserve traditional values and develop innovative evolution in the context of global changes.Content (in russ)hide table of contentsshow table of contents
