The latter was clearly defined either by peculiarities of regional cultural traditions or by social, political and economical interests of the state.

On the local material of the White-Sea Region is shown the resistance of the local population of the land to the processes of socialidentity mass destabilization, which increased atthe war time and especially duringthe Russian revolution 1917.
