Abstract
The obvious contradiction between a modern geopolitical course of the country to multi-polarity, to the Eurasian vector of development and the strategy of modernization of Russian education according the Western (European) model derivative of the idea of uni-polarity, embedding the Russian education in a valuable semantic paradigm of the Western civilization is being implemented till present. The contradiction related to the strategic geopolitical vector of development of modern Russia and the strategy of its state institutes, education, in particular, leads to the fact that in the Russian society the complex unresolved humanitarian problems will turn into a serious crisis in future. One of such challenges in Russia aggravated due to the global opposition between Russia and the USA is the problem of national unity of Russian society, the formation of Russian national identity. Variants of the pedagogical solution of the given problem actualizing the idea of multi-polarity and the paradigm of the Russian Eurasian civilization corresponding to it, in particular, the Cossacks phenomenon are considered in the article. In this aspect, the Cossack culture appears as a spiritual and ideological phenomenon of Russian civilization, as the national value, actualizing the idea of the personifying the idea of Russianness in the Eurasian vector of development of Russia, creating the traditional basis for Russian identity formation among the younger generations at present and in future.
Highlights
The tangle of world contradictions is concentrated in the field of geopolitics –the fight of superpowers for the model of development of humanity defining a vector of civilization planetary development for many decades ahead
Modernization of a domestic education system according to the Bologna requirements meets in the Russian reality the natural barrier at the level of mentality of society, issued in the form of the Russian (Soviet) educational tradition, acting in this case as a certain “soil” basis
According to the geostrategic way to multipolarity, chosen by Russia, it is necessary to add the existing paradigm of modernization of domestic education with a new vector, in which Russia is considered as the Eurasian civilization; to decide on substantial filling of the Russian civilization as inflorescences ethno-social, cultural–religious traditions; to reveal the sociocultural phenomena which for centuries have been working for unity and identity of the Russian society, educational opportunities of these phenomena in modern conditions; to develop the pedagogical models and technologies of training and education, which are based on meanings and values of the Russian civilization
Summary
The tangle of world contradictions is concentrated in the field of geopolitics –the fight of superpowers (the USA, China, and Russia) for the model of development of humanity defining a vector of civilization planetary development for many decades ahead. The strategy relating to uni-polarity demonstrated its impossibility to be realized in modern Russia, being in obvious conflicts with historical, political, spiritual bases of the Russian civilization (Dugin, 2014). Such a strategy can be implemented under one requirement – treachery of national interests and disintegration of the country. Admission of the further weakening of the country and its transformation into a resource colony of the West meant self-defeating This fact determined the people’s support of the new political course of President V. Putin based on strengthening of territorial integrity of the country, modernization its all life aspects, restitution its status of the “great power”
