The Role of the Executive Authorities of the Russian Federation and the Republic Of Belarus in the Formation and Implementation of the Policy of Patriotic Education

Aims: identification of the specifics of the role of the executive authorities of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus in the actualization of the Union patriotic agenda.

Methods: informal content analysis of documents, content analysis of the content of Internet resources, formal legal method, methods of comparative and multilevel analysis.

Results and discussion: The conceptual foundations of the phenomenon of «patriotism» in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are investigated through the prism of the existing functionality of executive authorities. The equivalent position of the countries regarding the semantics of the concept of «patriotism» is revealed along with national trends aimed at supporting various initiatives focusing on issues of patriotic education. The correlation of autonomous state processes in line with patriotism with collegial decisions of Russia and Belarus at the union level on the issue under consideration is shown. The concept of «patriotism» is defined through the prism of the modification of the paradigm of political processes, including at the site of the USBR, taking into account external challenges and threats.

Conclusion: The Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus are traditional partners, whose interaction initially had a pronounced axiological aspect. Modern realities in general, increasing external pressure encourage the mobilization of all resources to strengthen the anti-crisis potential and socio-political consolidation. The official discourse and practical events within the framework of the Union State demonstrate the actualization of a new paradigm and integration mechanisms for the formation and strengthening of the Union patriotic agenda and the policy of patriotic education. Interdepartmental communications are of particular importance here. In general, the area under study remains in the field of action of national and interstate mechanisms.
