Introduction. Asking the question: “Is it necessary to form the practice of patriotism in the Russian education system in order to foster human dignity?”, and if so, on what principles: sociocentrism, egocentrism or relativism. The article analyzes the importance of patriotic humanism in the human dignity formation as a process based on a harmonious synthesis of Russian traditions, modern achievements, and the experience of scientific schools that direct their pedagogical efforts taking into account the achievements of cultural-historical (humanitarian) and systemic-activity (technocratic) approaches. Methodology. A comprehensive review of philosophical views on the formation of human dignity as an educational strategy of Russian patriotic humanism is presented. The interdisciplinary nature of the problem under study has led to the application of educational and axiological methodology using practical and experimental analysis. The proposed new concepts and definitions may be of interest for further philosophical understanding and the development of the educational system in Russia. Discussion. Russia is a unique civilization that serves as the basis for the free life and development of its citizens, their families, and peoples, which form the foundation of the dignity of Russia itself. This is precisely what makes up the qualitative difference between the modern educational approach to the human dignity formation, which is associated with the concept of patriotic humanism and differs from previous stages in the synthesis of spiritual, moral and civic-patriotic education of the individual. In modern conditions, the idea of Russian patriotic humanism, which combines classical humanistic values emphasizing Russian traditions, has been formed in Russian education as a moral foundation for the human dignity formation. Conclusion. Human dignity in the educational strategy of Russian patriotic humanism can be considered in the formation of such personality qualities as morality, a sense of self-realization, independence in making life decisions, a sense of self-importance, awareness of one’s contribution to the development of the state and society as a whole. In modern Russian education, the practices of civic and patriotic education of human dignity are being integrated, combining social and legal components with components that represent a spiritual and moral component, which in turn is the core of patriotic education.
