Description
Summary:Purpose. Identification of the specifics of the socio-psychological motives of residents that determine the opportunities and main threats in the formation of a business unit in the border region. Methodology the article used mainly general scientific logical methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization and modeling of the subject area. Results: the factor of geographical proximity of the two States is manifested both at the level of ethnicity and readiness for cooperation and interaction at the personal, domestic and interstate levels. The article presents an analysis of the socio-psychological characteristics of residents of the Dnieper-Dvina region (Smolensk, Vitebsk, Mogilev regions) using a questionnaire with closed and open clarifying questions. One of the main tasks of the study was to identify the attitude of Russian-Belarusian youth to the integration processes of Russia and the Republic of Belarus. According to respondents, the most optimal format for interaction between the two border States is «the independent existence of two countries with warm and friendly relations». Practical implications the results of the study will be useful for researchers and specialists involved in the development of border regions, as well as demographic change, taking into account regional specifics.
