Abstract
<jats:p>The textbook substantiates the paradigm of civilizational identity, through the provisions of which the synergistically complex realities of the new Russia are analyzed. It is shown that the formation of this paradigm took place in the context of the confrontation between the domestic trends of Slavophilism, Westernism and Eurasianism, as well as the "universalization" of Anglo-Saxon theories that took place during the years of perestroika and liberal reforms. The unique domestic theories created by Russian sociologists at different historical times are updated, which reflect the social and cultural dynamics of Russians' lives, their civilizational values, national character and basic features of social consciousness. The author proceeds from the fact that all theories reflect the country's civilizational identity in one way or another, which is conditioned by its proximity to two diametrically opposed types of cultures — Western and eastern, and its content and character are determined by the genotype of the national culture. Based on the knowledge gained, students will develop professional competencies that allow them to solve urgent tasks of national projects, sovereign and sustainable development of the country, effectively reproducing national human capital, preserving the uniqueness of Russian civilization and our natural world while introducing cultural and techno-digital innovations into the lives of Russians. Meets the requirements of the latest generation of federal state educational standards for higher education. It is intended for students studying under the specialty program. It can be useful for undergraduates, undergraduates and postgraduates, as well as for anyone who is interested in the problems of the formation of sovereign sociology in Russia, based on national, cultural and civilizational specifics.</jats:p>
