metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is devoted to the issues of studying the processes of constructing regional identity. The
  existence of a consistent, logical and conceptual uniform regional identity policy is the basis for
  the implementation of a number of key tasks required for the stable development of a region. Definitions
  of such categories as “identity”, “identity policy” and “regional identity” are provided. The
  author adheres to the position of social constructivism, detailing the main points of this methodology.
  The article also provides a brief overview of empirical research on the relevant topic. One
  popular trend among Russian scientists is the analysis of discursive practices in the context of
  studying the features of symbolic politics at both the national and regional levels. In the empirical
  part of the work, the author attempted to identify symbolic grounds for the reconstruction of the
  image of St. Petersburg and the image of the community by using discourse analysis of public
  speeches by the regional governors. The author identified typical fragments of discourse that
  form the continuity of the declared image of St. Petersburg and its inhabitants. Regional identity
  politics in St. Petersburg has the same problems as at the national level. On the one hand, it offers
  an innovative image of the city’s future that is oriented towards European values (“comfort”, “high
  quality of life”), and on the other hand, the authorities actively promote symbols of the Soviet past.
