Transformation Of The Russian National Idea In The Context Of Globalization

The article studies the typology of the national idea of the Russian people at this stage of development of the Russian nation and Russia. A brief overview of the works by Russian thinkers, who initiated the discussion of the Russian idea is provided. The importance of the Russian national idea for the Russian people is substantiated. Attention is paid to the forms in which the Russian national idea exists in modern works; the author emphasizes the gravitation in the works by modern philosophers towards the ideas of messianism, Orthodoxy and moral superiority of the Russian people over other peoples. The destructive nature of these points of view, their inconsistency with the current historical situation are criticized. The Russian national idea should be formulated taking into account globalization processes. The main postulates of the Russian idea (messianism, Orthodoxy, superiority over other peoples) are not combined with the principles of globalization; however, many postulates that were put forward in the classical theories of the Russian national idea (the desire to move, humanity, aesthetic perception of reality, unity of the world, solidarity, etc.) are fully consistent with modern trends. It is necessary to consider the Russian national idea in the context of globalization, developing those of its components that correspond to the world development trends and reflect the principles of humanization, tolerance, respect for human dignity, which are becoming more important.
