The article deals with the problem of the place of tolerance in the structure of civil identity of the person. The authors distinguish the cognitive, emotional, value-related and activity-related components in the civil identity structure and consider tolerance to be a basic value-related attitude of civil consciousness which becomes more significant considering the present-day social changes. There exist three approaches to the analysis of tolerance as a value of civil identity and a norm of civil relations. These are axiological, moral-ethical and social-cultural approaches. The importance of the development of the tolerant attitude of consciousness in the civil education system is also studied in the article.
