Summary It is known that events related to national-spiritual values or ethno-identity, as a whole, philosophical-ethical existence, are of great importance in the life of every nation. It is no coincidence that national-spiritual values, which affect human consciousness from the womb to death, have historically transformative power in terms of philosophical content and essence. Of course, no matter how natural the development of this dialectically powerful actor in the process of changing the location of civilizations is, its decline and fall have also been confirmed in practice. The most important factor for the development and survival of this factor is the State, the head of state - the Leader. In other words, the state of national-spiritual values, which form the basis of the history of nations, depends on the state and the head of state.
