Abstract

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of the functioning of cultural identity in the context of modern globalization processes. The authors adopted the concept of distinguishing between globalization and globalism, defended by A. S. Panarin, A. A. Khamidov and some others. Due to the fact that most authors do not make such a distinction, their positions contain many inconsistencies, contradictions and confusion. Globalization in the article is considered as inherent in the world-historical process. Therefore, every culture, large and small, has its own set of identities that change and develop as it develops. The strategy and tactics of globalism, based on the ideas of neo-globalism and mondialism, consists in the unification of all cultures, leveling out all their differences that ensure their identities, in order to control the world from a single center in the interests of this center.
