| Summary: | <p>The modern Russian society is under influence of globalization and traditionalism threats that have serious conflict potential. In this context heightened interest of post-Soviet society to civil alternatives for global and posttraditional trends is quite natural. This is highly topical for those areas where different ethnical group representatives meet each other face to face.</p><p>According to R. Dal’s conception which distinguished basic criteria of civil identity forming and creating, an analysis of development and maturity of regional civil society by the example ofRepublicofKhakassia(South-East Siberia).</p><p>As a result of respondents’ self-identification analysis it was discovered that most of them mean “Russian” concept as social and cultural by nature: their cognitive notions of Russian identity are often similar to the ethnical one.
