In the conditions of risks and challenges of globalization and modernization, civil nationalization in Russia, security and stability of regional development continue to update the issue of religious identity of Russian people, especially in the Russian regions. The article studies the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan, where there is national, cultural, and confessional diversity. By the number of the Muslim population in the Russian Federation, the republic occupies one of the leading positions. At the same time, the Orthodoxy has strong traditions. Other confessions are also represented in Bashkiria which creates a serious load on the ethno-confessional situation in the region, poses challenges for the government authorities. Over a long historical period, the republic has gained positive experience of interaction between different nationalities and religions. The main purpose of the article is to identify the state and trends of development of religious identity in the republic, which is necessary to understand whether the situation creates a problem for interfaith and inter-ethnic interaction and stability of regional development. On the other hand, it is necessary to identify the relevance of religious identity for developing civil identity. The results of the study can be used for developing regional education policies. The article used materials of scientific researches and data of surveys conducted from the 1990s to 2016.
