Context and relevance. The global tensions and increasing sanctions pressure on Russia create the context when it seems particularly important to study the factors influencing Russian youth’s attitudes toward cross-country integration. Social identity is known to be one of the key factors shaping perceptions and evaluations of integration processes between states is social identity. However, the potential of social identity as a socio-psychological resource for shaping youth attitudes toward international integration remains quite unexplored in the Russian context. Objective is to analyze foreign studies that examine the role of social identity in shaping youth attitudes toward cross-country integration. Methods and Materials. We used a theoretical analysis of articles from international scientometric databases on the research topic and based on the keywords: «social identity», «attitude to integration», «international integration», «intergroup interaction», «intergroup contact», and «perceived threat». Results. The study reveals that different types of social identity are ambiguously connected with cross-country integration. The nature of intergroup interactions between countries determines the youth perception of integration and a high level of ethnic, national (civic), and global identity acts as either a barrier or a resource of this process. Conclusions. The complexity of social identity itself, the quality and depth of intergroup contact, and the level of perceived intergroup threat are the key parameters mediating the relationship between social identity and youth attitudes toward cross-country integration.
