The role of propaganda in popularizing and preserving the all-Russian cultural identity of compatriots abroad
Introduction. As a result of the constitutional reform carried out in 2020, the basic law of the country was supplemented with new norms. They include the provisions of Part 3 of Article 69 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which enshrine guarantees of support for compatriots living abroad. This norm introduces a new category into constitutional legal circulation – “all-Russian cultural identity”, and its preservation is fixed as one of the areas of state activity. Propaganda is interpreted as one of the elements of the mechanism for preserving this identity. The study of all-Russian cultural identity, as well as propaganda in the context of its preservation, is the goal of this work. Theoretical analysis. The term “identity” has been steadily entrenched in domestic legislation and legal science. Its content varies depending on the characteristics of the identity bearer. It has been revealed that the functions of propaganda used to preserve his / her identity depend on the characteristics of the basis for recognizing a person as a compatriot. Еmpirical analysis. The article revealed that neither ethnicity nor citizenship relations are the basis of the nationwide cultural identity of compatriots abroad. The concept under study is based on the cultural (civilizational) code of Russia as a country with a centuries-old statehood, rich history and a multinational people. Propaganda is one of the ways to spread the Russian value and worldview model. Results. The role of propaganda is to form a positive image of the future among compatriots regarding Russia. The upward constitutionalization of relations to support compatriots is due to several factors: the priority of this direction of the Russian national policy; recognition of the identity under study as a legal fact; justification of the new category as confirmation of the civilizational essence of Russia at the constitutional level.
