Researched is the meaning of the notion of “civil identity”, widespread in modern sociology. Civic identity is a person’s belonging to a certain civil community of any known country. A civil identity is a person’s definition of his civil status as his own status, in other words, a close connection between the understanding that I am a citizen of a country. Civic identity is a perception of oneself as a representative of the people of Kyrgyzstan, and a high level of civic identity is a condition for the unity of society. The formation of a civic identity is very important in the context of Kyrgyzstan. In connection with the peculiarities of historical development, Kyrgyzstan was faced with a situation of “symmetrical dichotomy”, because it was necessary to simultaneously build an ethno-national state and a civil nation. It is clear that the requirements of globalization and civilization require the need to build a civil nation, but the formation of a civil nation without the creation of an ethno-national state is very difficult. The article presents the results of the analysis of the sociological survey “Problems of civic identity in the Kyrgyz Republic (sociological survey)” conducted in 2017 in all regions of Kyrgyzstan, as well as in Bishkek and Osh, in which 1301 respondents took part. In conclusion, it should be noted that the formation of a civil identity and the strengthening of its role in the state should be used not only as a factor in the consolidation of the population as a whole, but also as a mechanism for the formation and unification of ethnic, religious, civil and national identity in our multinational state.

Key words: state, civic identity, ethno-national state, Kyrgyzstan, society, sovereignty.
