The culture of communication between representatives of different nations in Russian society and ways to improve it

The article is devoted to the consideration of the culture of communication between representatives of different nations and the main directions for its improvement. In the current situation of geopolitical tension, when the opposing sides actively use hybrid pressure tools, it is important to ensure a balance of interests of all nationalities living in the socio-economic space of Russia. Since ancient times, Russian society has been multinational in nature, based on feelings of respect for the interests of other nationalities. Thus, at the civilizational level, the Russian people strive not to colonize representatives of other nations, but to find common ground with them for support and joint solution of a huge number of problems. Today, unfriendly countries are trying to disunite Russian society along national lines in order to inflict a strategic defeat on our country. An important element of the defensive response to various forms of hybrid aggression is the construction of a high-quality culture of communications between different nations. A positive factor for the successful solution of this problem is the existence of a common basis in the form of the Russian language, which generates an accessible bridge of communications. The replication of effective practices of intercultural communications significantly reduces the risks of ethnopolitical conflicts and leads to the stabilization of the social situation. Political elites, within the framework of their activities and public agenda, should actively engage in this process and in every possible way contribute to the expansion of the potential of intercultural communications. In the context of digital transformation, it is advisable to create new cultural spaces for interethnic dialogue in order to achieve political consensus in solving problematic issues of social, religious and economic nature.
