“The advanced training program “Modern approaches to strengthening all-Russian civic identity” provides for the study of a wide range of issues related to the formation of a person’s civic identity. The Concept of spiritual and moral development and upbringing of the personality of a Russian citizen assigns a key role in uniting society in the face of external and internal challenges, in strengthening social solidarity, in increasing the level of human confidence in life in Russia, in fellow citizens, society, the state, the present and future of their countries. Patriotism is not only an ideological condition, it is the formation of the moral principles of human behavior, their love for the environment, work, society and of course the Motherland.”
