Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of the new educational course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood”, which has become mandatory for study in Russian universities since 2023. The interdisciplinary and integrative nature of the discipline is emphasized. The possibilities of the course are explored in the context of the development of a worldview, the formation of values aimed at serving society and spiritual improvement. A review of publications in scientific periodicals discussing the problems identified during the teaching of the new course is made. Methodology. The object of the study was the course “Fundamentals of Russian Statehood”, tested at the correspondence department of the Nizhny Tagil State Socio-Pedagogical Institute. The subject of the study is defined as the educational potential of Russian philosophy of the Silver Age, which is understood in the context of this course as the anthropocentric content of Russian civilization, synthesized with a socio-moral intention. The methodology of theoretical and comparative historical philosophical analysis is applied. Discussion. The educational possibilities of the discipline in its conditioning by history and philosophy are considered. The ontological dominant of the course is emphasized, which justifies the need for philosophical interpretations of the historical originality of Russian civilization. Special attention is paid to the philosophical aspect of understanding the discipline, which is only indirectly included in the course content, but plays an important role in the development of the student’s thinking, allowing him/her to practically master the knowledge gained through comparison, argumentation and systematization. It is proposed to introduce students to the traditions of spiritual priorities in the formation of man and society, known in Russian philosophy. Conclusion. Conclusions are drawn about the ideological significance of this course, which integrates the political, cultural and historical features of Russian spirituality, which form the foundations of modern Russian statehood. The conclusion is emphasized that Russian philosophy is a heritage of world culture, and its study contributes to understanding the spiritual and moral origins of Russian civilization.
