Revival of the Cossacks in the system of the national paradigm

In the article, the term “revival of the Cossacks” is understood as the process of socio-political transformation of the modern Russian Cossacks in the context of which a democratic transformation of public life takes place, the modernization of the rule of law and the development of civil relations.
Based on the institutional-integrating paradigm, state and local government bodies can define and fully ensure the institutional functioning of the modern Russian Cossacks. Otherwise, the Cossack movement loses the clear goals of the “revival of the Cossacks” with the prospect of transformation into a sociocultural group that differs only in specific folklore.
Keywords: Identity, Cossacks, supraethnic community, national paradigm, community, patriotism, register, self-awareness.
