Abstract

This article discusses the structure of all-Russian national identity and the role of ethnocultural competence in its formation. The author analyzes the regulations that govern the state national policy of Russia, and the results of scientific research in the field of interethnic relations and the construction of identities. The multiculturalism of Russian society, which has developed as a result of the country’s historical development, requires citizens to be able to build a peaceful and constructive interethnic dialogue. Along with this, the state faced the task of consolidating the ethnic communities living in Russia into a single nation. Ethnocultural competence in this article is seen as a set of personal qualities that allow a person to establish successful interethnic communication. It can contribute to the solution of this task, if considered as a necessary condition for the formation of an all-Russian national identity and, therefore, one of the important focuses of the educational system.
