Attributes of Genealogy and Siberian Transcultural Psychology as Sources of Ideas about Models of a Multipolar World

The article retrospectively considers genealogical, as well as interethnic and cross-cultural aspects of Siberian peoples' life in their connection with the all-Russian and global trends. By analogy with the well-known phenomenon of the "trans-Siberian highway" the authors call "transcultural" the common psychological attitudes and variants of folk traditions "penetrating" the ethnic groups of Siberian territories and border regions of neighboring countries. The authors show that some transcultural interactions in the past were carried out with representatives of indigenous ethnic groups of the Americas; today their results are known in the neighboring regions of Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia, Korea, and if we take into account the issues of trade relations and the situation of migrants in Russia, they concern other Central Asian states as well. As for the communities and institutions of the multipolar world, if in legal and administrative terms it is possible to establish sufficiently delineated boundaries, it is impossible to do so in ethnopsychological and transcultural terms, and in such matters one cannot do without psychogenetic analysis. The article considers the content of the concept of "Siberian multiculturalism", which allows us to show certain integration resources of Siberian peoples not only in intra-Russian ethnic contacts, but also in interaction with ethnic groups of other neighboring, and not only, peoples. At the same time, there is a pronounced ability to preserve their own identity and uniqueness, relying on genetic and historical memory, as well as on "nourishment" from related ethnic groups. The article details specific factors that in psychological terms will predetermine the attitude of Russians of different nationalities to the organization of a multipolar world, since it is impossible to imagine it without the presence in the structure of not only large but also small ethnic groups, the functional purpose of which is to ensure the transition of attributes of macro communities to the individual and, conversely, from the individual to society as a whole.
