CIVILIZATION IDENTITY OF RUSSIA: THE PROBLEM OF A CULTURAL AND GENETIC CODE

The authors analyze two systemically important fundamental principles of Russian civilization – a genotype and a sociocultural code. The Russian genotype is a supreme structure of integration of individuals into society. It is associated with the peasant community, which has its spiritual and social counterpart in the Eastern Orthodox community (the Church) and in a multi-ethnic community of nations, faiths, cultures of North Eurasia. The sociocultural code of Russia is an original motivation and semantic structure of human behavior determination. It has two levels: a cultural and genetic nucleus (supreme senses of Eastern Orthodoxy) and social code (basic archetypes of Russian sociality).
