Integration Values of the Citizens of the Countries Participating in the Integration Processes of Little Eurasia

The relevance of studying the integration values of the peoples of the post-Soviet countries is due to the need to combine their efforts in solving socio-economic problems. The future of each state of Little Eurasia, the preservation of stability and the avoidance of social challenges largely depend on shared values that regulate human behavior. The article identifies the value systems of migrants from countries involved in integration processes in the post-Soviet space, which provide grounds to assess the potential and prospects for integration development. The empirical basis of the analysis is the results of a survey in February – March 2024 of citizens of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan working and living in Moscow. Based on the results of the analysis, conclusions were drawn about the similarity of integration values among the majority of respondents and their support for uniting the efforts of countries in solving socio-economic problems. The emergence of contradictory and multidirectional orientations of the countries of their citizenship on the integration associations of Greater Eurasia is noted, the need to strengthen the Eurasian vector of development is justified.

 The results obtained can be useful for the development of political strategies and measures aimed at strengthening social solidarity and unity of the studied countries. This is especially important in the context of the many challenges that modern societies face. The consensus of integration values solidifies society, strengthens interaction between people and increases the level of trust, promotes cooperation and respect for differences between people.

New knowledge can complement existing theoretical and methodological developments in the field of sociology, political science, cultural studies and other scientific disciplines, contributing to the expansion of ideas about socio-cultural and political processes in the CIS, will make up for the lack of empirical research aimed at a modern analysis of the value core of the consolidation of the population of post-Soviet countries, will allow to develop a deeper understanding of the processes of social consolidation, including how values and ideas can serve as factors of unity or divisions in diverse societies.
