Value foundations of interreligious consent of orthodox Christians and Muslims of Russia

The article describes the working concept of the study of common value foundations for the consolidation of Russian citizens who have different ethno-cultural and religious backgrounds. The essence of the concept is that the set of values, their specific structure in a particular cultural and historical community, remains relatively constant in historical time, whereas the process of value drift is regarded as a change in the content of concepts that denote social values. These gradual changes in the content of values can be located between two poles - a traditionalist interpretation of value and a modernist (secular-rational) interpretation. The empirical base of the research is the data of a representative survey of residents of the Republic of Bashkortostan within the framework of the project «The Resource of Interethnic Consent in the Consolidation of Russian Society: General and Special in Regional Diversity). The main conclusion of the study is that the coordinated perception of the current Russian realities by representatives of different religions is ensured in Russia by the same traditionalist interpretation of the basic value orientations.
