REGIONAL IDENTITY IN RUSSIAN SOCIETY: SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL ASPECT
The purpose of the study is to provide a socio-philosophical understanding of the regional identity of Russian society. Research methodology. The sociocommunicative approach proposed by the authors reflects the regional society as a socio-cultural space in which regional identity is a scheme of awareness, understanding and communication of people in the context of finding an optimal life in the all-Russian regional space in the integration of regional ethnic and all-Russian identities. The result of the research. In the analyzed article, the problem of regional identity in the socio-philosophical aspect is considered insufficiently developed in the Russian scientific literature. The meaning of the researchers' appeal to this issue is connected, firstly, with the fact that regional identity is traditionally fixed in the status of socio-psychological and sociological discourses; secondly, due to the fact that, as a socio-philosophical problem, regional identity is focused on the problems of cognition of the subject of public life, which, in fact, «lagged behind» the understanding of the deobjectivization of the social world and the social person. The prospects of the study are connected with the possibility of using the results of the study for further construction of regional identity in of Russia.
