Dialectics of cultural heritage and modern cultural processes as a condition for maintaining interethnic harmony

The paper deals with the issues of multidimensionality of the dialectics of cultural heritage and modern cultural processes. An attempt is made to study how cultural heritage affects the self-realization of an ethnic group, how cultural heritage can become a regulator of issues of interethnic interaction, peace and harmony. Interethnic interaction is the most important direction in the issue of dialectics of modern cultural processes and cultural heritage. The dialectics of cultural heritage and cultural processes is considered in several aspects. The reason is the multidirectionality of historical and socio-cultural processes, the state of today’s national culture and the impact of state policy on the modern socio-cultural context. The dialectical method of studying social phenomena makes it possible to understand the patterns in development of the modern contradictory processes and trends. The study includes aspects of the dialectics of cultural heritage and modern cultural processes related to and most affecting interethnic interaction.
