Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the ethnic component of multi- level identity of the population of the regions of the South of Russia. This  paper, based on the results of a number of empirical studies conducted in  2017, the structural content of the identity of residents of two regions of  the South of Russia was analyzed: the Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria and  the Rostov Region. In the work it was revealed that the ethnic component  does not occupy the first place in the hierarchy of components of the multi- level  identity  of  the  modern  individual  in  any  of  the  groups  analyzed. A  comparative analysis of the models of identities formed among residents  of two different ethnic entities in the South of Russia made it possible to  determine that the presence of an ethnic component in the identity structure  of  individuals  is  more  significant  for  the  representatives  of  the  national  Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria than for the population living on the territory  of the Rostov region.  The article is devoted to the analysis of the ethnic component of multi-level identity of the population of the regions of the South of Russia.
