Abstract
The Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol have not yet completed the process of reintegration today. In this context, it is necessary to pay attention to its political and psychological component — the problem of creating the Russian national-state identity. The political-psychological approach involves analyzing not only the rational aspects of this process but also the place of unconscious factors in it, including the symbolic space of identity. The study involved researchers from Sevastopol University who conducted a questionnaire survey comprising closed and open questions. The sample selected for the study represented two regions. Their survey included 2,100 respondents. The researchers identified elements such as the image of the territory, the idea of personalities with symbolic meaning, and historical symbols for the study.
