The Role of Patriotic Values in the Russian Socio-Cultural Space

Abstract

Effective and harmonious patriotic education of citizens is becoming a matter of national security of Russia. At the same time, there is a lack of methodological approaches to integrating patriotic values into the Russian socio-cultural space. The purpose of the study is to understand the role of patriotic attitudes and their impact on human behavior in the socio-cultural space. The authors rely on the principle of historicism, on the basis of which the genesis of patriotic values and the factors determining their formation and development in the sociocultural space of society are considered in specific historical conditions, as well as on the principle of consistency, which made it possible to analyze patriotic values as a set of various elements and components. The work shows that patriotism encompasses not only love for the motherland, but also participation in its development, protection of its interests and traditions. The problems associated with the loss of traditional Russian patriotic consciousness by our society have been identified. It is concluded that currently the formation of patriotic attitudes among the population with the introduction of new technologies of patriotic education is an effective approach. The perspective of the study is to determine the further directions of the policy of the Russian State in the field of education of patriotism, consolidation of sustainable values of a patriotic nature in the consciousness of the population.
