Abstract
The article deals with the status of national character and its place in the modern space of understanding. The national character is a driving force in transferring social practices and fostering communication actions both within the culture and at the level of intercultural dialogue, because, intersecting with the spheres of culture and society, the national character realizes the function of a mediator between the subjects of cultural dialogue. The author claims the need to study the problem of understanding as a crucial condition and the goal of the communication processes, because in practice the conditions of mutual understanding being unrevealed gives rise to the phenomenon of the mass manipulation of consciousness.
