The methodological basis for their study was the principles of historical and scientific researchers. Authors in the article note that in the modern Russian discourse of citizenship there is a rather extensive presentation field, which includes many approaches in which citizenship concepts acquire, on the one hand, their own specifics and paradigmatic limitations on the other hand. As a result, disciplinary discursive practices in Russia lose the notion of citizenship as a holistic social phenomenon. In this regard, there is a cognitive need for the development of a multidimensional methodological construct for the holistic study of citizenship in Russia.
