”The city as the stage for my feelings”: the specific emotional identity of the inhabitants of a closed city

The article is devoted to understanding the specific emotional identity of residents of «closed cities» (on the example of Ozersk, Chelyabinsk Oblast). The emotional level of urban identity implies a person’s irrational, sensual identification with the place of her or his territorial location, relating to their intuitive assessment of the city. Its specificity in the context of a closed city is examined via the following parameters: the autobiographical, manufactured patriotism, internal and external opposition, retro-orientation, sensitivity to a decrease in comfort, solidarity.
