Accordingly, on this basis it is necessary to form a national identity based on the principle of citizenship, which should be a consolidating moment for representatives of all ethnic groups and confessions. Therefore, the main thing from the point of view of the tasks set in the article is the study of the main directions of state policy in the field of the formation of a single nation, which is assumed to be one of the consequences of the spiritual revival of Kazakhstani society.
