Abstract

The dynamics of ethnic identity and ethnic solidarity in Russia of the post-Soviet period is considered from the ethno-sociological point of view; theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of these phenomena are proposed. It is concluded that the actualization of ethnic identity carries with it the risks of social destabilization only in the case when ethnic identity is combined with the attitudes of intolerance and rejection of the multicultural way of Russian reality. The formation of Russian national and civil identity is based on the ideas and emotions included in the complex of positive ethnic identity. Ethnic solidarity of Russians in the republics is connected with the all-Russian identity and trust of the Central government
