| Summary: | The problem of ethnic self-identification became especially relevant in the 21st century. as a result of global globalization processes. It has long gone beyond the limits of purely scientific and has acquired socio-political significance, especially in the so-called so-called. national minorities living in the Diaspora.
The nature of self-identity is determined by three distinct, but closely related factors: religion, culture, and state. Religion or a new religious idea becomes the dominant of the formation of a new ethnos; it is religion that determines the basic cultures of each nation. Religion and culture (in the broad sense of the term) are manifested in a certain state space, so the nature of their functioning depends largely on the state. However, relations between the state and culture are the result of the interaction of two vector-opposite processes: on the one hand, there is a tendency to form a single space-time - state - field of culture with unified norms, values, outlook and worldview (one state, one people, one culture). ; on the other, the desire of different ethno-religious groups to preserve their spatial niche and develop their own religious-cultural and legal specificity.
