Abstract
Aim. To identify and show interpretive assessments of the political ideology of Siberian democratic regionalism in the latest foreign studies.
Methodology. The current study is based on historiographical methodology. The main instrument of the study is political and textual analysis of foreign researches by British, American, European and non-Western authors.
Results. The author establishes the contours of the modern Anglo-American, European and non-Western narrative in understanding the ideology of Siberian regionalism (regionalism).
Research implications. The work has both scientific and academic and practical significance. In terms of research, this study sheds light on the interpretation of the essence and content of the political ideology of Siberian democratic regionalism. We believe these results can be useful for a wide range of researchers involved in the problems of Russian political thought. From the practical point of view, this work can be used in the development of state programs and strategies of counteracting the cultivation of secession-oriented ideas by the unfriendly West. The results of the work done may be implemented in the regional and national policy of modern Russia in order to preserve the internal political stability and territorial integrity of the country.
