Specific Features of Political Identity in Russia and in European Countries

Problems of transformation of social (ethnic, confessional, regional, civic) models of identity into political identity are discussed in the article. Special attention is paid, in particular, to the problem of one’s attitude to one’s own country as to «Another». The author analyzes the reasons of the decreasing of significance of traditional (ideological, party-membership, personified) forms of political identity as such.
