Khilko, N. F. Localization of Mechanisms of National and Cultural Identity Formation in Russian National Traditions

Abstract: The subject under research is the methods of achieving the national and cultural identity formation of Russian people through localizing mechanisms of such identity formation. In this regard, the purpose of the research is to find the main mechanism of the local formation (localization) of the national and cultural identity. Noteworthy that the process of the identity formation may also include bilingual, enthocreative, behavioral, axiological and spiritual forms of identification. The latter becomes closely intertwined with ethno-confessional, family, domestic and household, ceremonial, artistic and socio-cultural traditions of the Russians which symbolizes the confluence of the global and regional elements. In his research the author of the article uses system, structural and conceptual cultural research analysis. Methodologically the research is based on the idea of the multi-culturalism and cultural dialogue introduced by M. Bakhtin. The scientific novelty is in discovery of the forms of national and cultural identity formation, in particular, bilingual, ethno-creative, behavioral, axiological, spiritual and local identity formation and description of their mechanisms. Combined altogether, they are a trigger for the linguistic, ethno-creative, behavioral, axiological and spiritual commonality integrated in an original local form of identity formation that is also conditioned by the spirits, mentality and attitudes of national groups.
