The Role of Replacing Ethno-Cultural Identity with Religious Identity in the Process of Formation and Development of the North Caucasus Imamate

Summary/Abstract: Within the confines of the present paper, the authors consider the problem of replacing ethno-cultural identity with religious identity in the process of formation and development of the North Caucasus Imamate. The authors of the article analyse the question of the mechanisms of changing mass consciousness using elements of supranational religious beliefs, individual dogmas of world religion. The authors of the article pay special attention to the mechanism of changing the national and cultural identity of a person. They also explore the issue of replacing national and cultural identity with religious fanaticism. In most cases, religious fanaticism is based on the denial of historical legal, ethical and aesthetic traditions. At the end of the article, the authors come to the conclusion that the study of the history of formation, formation, development and disintegration remains relevant and allows us to predict, model and level the processes of reconstruction of similar political and theocratic formations in the modern world.
