Division and dissociation as one of the characteristics of contemporary russian nation
The russian nation is disclosed in accordance with its division and dissociation that is revealed in its scattering across the post soviet territory and abroad. The problem defined as «crisis of nation» is that russian people are not eager to preserve their ethnic and cultural identity and are oriented to the assimilation with the representatives of the dominating ethnic group within their country. The way out is supposed to be in the formation of national idea and appropriate politics of the state.
