ELABORATION OF PATRIOTIC IDEA ON THE MULTICULTURAL BASIS

The most important task of modern Russian school is to develop the high sense of patriotism and culture of inter-ethnic and inter-national relations. The process of formation of civil identity and patriotism of the present high school students occurred against the background of sharpened social and political processes in Russia, which caused the necessity to develop the conscious patriotic idea on the multicultural basis taking into account special aspects of its implementation in different regions of the federation and under the conditions of various ethnic groups interaction. As a result, the formation and development of a sense of patriotism and civic position with the young generation were reduced to one-time individual activities that were often deprived of motivation, meaning content and structure, and the internal logic, not taking into consideration the absence of scientific evidence. Therefore, the importance of studying the problem of patriotic education of the youth is determined by the devaluation of personal priorities, major directions of patriotic education of the younger generation in the current context.
