The article was prepared as a part of the discussion “Russia and Siberia in the Eurasian socio-cultural space” and is devoted to understanding the problems raised in the work of A. V. Ivanov and Yu. V. Popkov “Spiritual and ecological civilizational perspective: the value potential of youth in the Siberian context”, which initiated this discussion. The aim of the article is to study the place of civilizational identity in the general coordinate system formed by multilevel identity, and in which way the value of civilizational identity as an independent sociocultural phenomenon changes under the influence of globalization processes. The novelty of the research is determined by the research attitude towards the comparative analysis of global and civilizational identities in modern conditions. The author’s view of the changes taking place with the idea of civilization under the influence of globalization, the logic of these processes, internal mechanisms and prospects for further development is proposed. It is shown that globalization initially serves as a trigger for the process of transformation of civilizational identity and sociocultural space in general and then continues to retain its influence as its significant factor. The result of cultural globalization is the formation of a global identity. As a result, global and civilizational identities find themselves in a state of competition, since in the modern system of values they represent two “neighboring” highest levels of identity, transnational in nature, and are largely determined by similar factors. The formation process features of civilizational identity in different conditions (Russia and Europe) are outlined. It is concluded that the general trend is its directed and conscious construction, accompanied by the politicization of this phenomenon. Meanwhile, the difference in the strategies for formation of civilizational identity in Russia and Europe is determined by the emerging relations between civilizational identity and the institution of the national state.
