National identity is an important factor in the social consolidation of the society as a prerequisite for national integration. In this regard, the article attempts to find the all-Russian identity, being able to overcome the disintegrative potential of ethnic and ethno-confessional diversity in the Russian society. National and civilizational identity, formed on the basis of an image of Russia as a local civilization can become such identity. The difficulties in the formation of the national and civilizational identity as one of the models of national integration are determined, on the one hand, by the presence of the different civilizational images of Russia in the discourse, and on the other hand, by the fact that the civilizational identity matrix is currently on the periphery of the mass consciousness in the Russian society, therefore socio-cultural and institutional practices acquire a special role in its construction.

Following the results of a sociological study conducted by the authors, a hierarchical structure of value policy efficiency in the Russian Federation has been presented based on the criteria of significance and satisfaction level of public values in modern society. The level of the cumulative efficiency of modern value policy at the present stage of its implementation has been determined quantitatively and qualitatively. The optimal structure of value policy and state efficiency in Russian society has been substantiated, the basic public values of which should become a group of public values. It has been found that the legal and moral public values are secondary to social ones and represent public values of a higher level in today's society in the Russian Federation as well. This approach will be the basis for improving the theoretical basis of value policy. It will serve as a fundamental basis for improving state administration in the Russian Federation.
