The Izborsky Club positions itself as a "synthesis of Russian statists <...> from socialists and Soviet pa-triots to monarchists and Orthodox conservatives" and aims to unite representatives from diverse statist nationalist movements. The internal heterogeneity of Russian nationalism presents a challenge to the Izborsky Club's goal of developing a "new tradition", which involves constructing a unified understand-ing of Russian identity. This study, based on a content analysis of the Club members' publications of 2012-2021, examines the models of Russian identity promoted and evaluates the process of creatinga unified national Self-image. While members share generalized views on the territory and the collective past, their views differ significantly on the nature of the community and diverge in their assessments of certain periods of Russian history. Althoughmany members embrace the concept of Russian civiliza-tion, there is no consensus on what this civilization represents. Due to the lack of deep agreement be-yond vague terms and generalized ideas, forming a cohesive identity model remains difficult.
