The article consideres the issue of Russian national security through the prism of different identity models. The authors express the idea that in different periods of Russian statehood the identity models played constructive or destructive role, or they had an ambivalent character. In terms of modern global processes related to geopolitical rivalry and redistribution of zones of influence, the choice of structural identity model serves as a powerful resource in the consolidation of modern Russian society and positioning it in the international arena, as well as in national security provision and defense of its geopolitical interests.
