The Relationship Between Ethnic and Religious Factors in the Context of the Formation of Civil Identity in Kyrgyzstan

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of an urgent problem — the relationship between ethnic and religious factors in the context of the formation of the civic identity of student youth in Kyrgyzstan. In multi-ethnic and multi-religious states like Kyrgyzstan, where people of different ethnic and religious origins live side by side, the issue of forming civic identity becomes especially relevant. In the context of the transformation of modern Kyrgyz society, characterized, on the one hand, by globalization and the leveling of cultural, traditional, ethnic values, and on the other, by the growth of ethnic and religious consciousness, the role of ethnic and religious identities is being updated. The role of ethnic and religious identities, which are an important factor in the sustainable and harmonious development of modern society, is determined.
