Abstract
The process of development of the concept of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values as a new unifying idea of the Russian society is considered. The purpose of the study is to analyze their significance as basic principles that ensure the unity of multinational, multi-confessional and multicultural Russian society. Modern challenges to traditional forms of society are assessed, the concepts of “state” and “national” unity are differentiated, the role of traditional spiritual and moral values as the basis of state unity and sovereignty of Russia is substantiated, it is concluded that against the background of destabilizing socio-political processes of the post-Soviet period, the concept of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values has replaced the previous ideological concepts, which became a natural response to the growing and growing unity of the Russian society.
