The author of this article argues that communication is the basis for the construction of social communities, institutions and organizations, as well as the basis of existence of the very institute of statehood. Civilizational society preserves its national, ethnic and religious fundamentals that sustain identities of nations and ethnicities. Civilizational identity in modern Russia is based on the preservation of a Russian cultural dominant, whose bearers are represented not only by ethnic Russians, but rather by all bearers of such an identity, regardless of their ethnicity. A civic identity of new Russia rests upon civilization principles that symbolize the integrity of the millennial Russian history. Destructive activity of many a force of super-cultural and super-religious nature is aimed at inciting enmity between people. A super-cultural path of development is primarily directed to the support of material life forms, while an attempt to develop statehood solely on super-religious level only destroys an integrating structuring of ethnic and confessional space.
