The aim of the article is to explore some basic myths of Russian culture. In author’s opinion, forming of new Russian identity is not possible without taking them into consideration. The author shows that forming ofpolitical community and appropriate signs of identity in modern Russia can be productive only when taking into account the preceding historical experience, which testifies that political community in Russia was created on the base of mental, moral and cultural community. The proper understanding of cultural code of Russian civilization by political elite and resting upon its basic myths when determining the strategy of social and economic development are absolutely necessary though insufficient condition of building of new national identity.
