As the objectives of the study, the author aims to justify the need for smooth incorpora-
tion of the Soviet values into the system of values emerging in the framework of the mod-
ern Russian identity. Scientific novelty of the work is to substantiate the thesis that
although theoretically the system of values shared by the majority of society is produced
by civil society, to overcome the crisis phenomena in the sphere of identity in modern
Russia and purposeful activity of the state aimed at solving this task (identity politics) is
necessary. The need for bridging gaps and schisms formed in the public consciousness,
the consolidation of the population in the face of contemporary geopolitical threats and
challenges makes actual use of the Soviet experience in this area and return to such val-
ues as justice understood as equality, humane image of the future and the primacy of the
human socio-cultural over the natural and biological.
Keywords: identity, values, Soviet values, identity politics, criteria development, energy
economic and social development.
