Abstract

Objective of the study. The article discusses some aspects of Russian ethnic thinking. Special attention is paid to the fact that the ontological national genesis was formed under the influence of two cultural codes – paganism and Christianity. Among the important features of the Russian mentality are the desire for unity with nature, charity, good neighborliness, which grew up on the basis of the ideas of unity, patience, and understanding. And the Russian person in this mental system is a microcosm, the content of which largely correlates with the concept of the collective unconscious, where one of the prevailing ideas is about the transmission and translation of historical mental experience from generation to generation and fixing it in a simplified symbolic form.   Methodological basis of the research are theoretical and methodological ideas of A. V. Lubsky about mental programs and models of social behavior. Research results. The author presented an analysis of the specifics of Russian thinking, the correlation of the life of nature and the life of a Russian person, ontological national genesis, as well as the Russian collective unconscious. The author came to the conclusion that the public Russian ethnic consciousness does not remain aloof from the process of the unconscious formation. These levels of consciousness reveal interaction and mutual exchange of data. In the public consciousness, the assimilation of socio-historical experience takes place, it is comprehended and transmitted to the next round of development of the Russian mentality. Prospects for the study. The uniqueness of the Russian ethnic mentality is relevant for study.
