Summary The paper attempts to identify and analyze system features and main components of the national conflict model and conflict resolution strategy in Russian society. It is shown that the Russian style assumes absence of social dynamics in the movement of social conflicts from «toxic» types of conflicts to conflicts which can be institutionalized. On the basis of the proposed methodological tools of Bourdieu, the concept of «confl ict habitus» is operationalized and offered its author’s interpretation. In the political sphere it is a stable, self-replicating in historical time social structures complex (relationships, organizations and institutions), the set of historical conflict behavior laws, a specific core, which defi nes national identity confl ict, the behavior of social actors in it and the methods of its regulation. It is proved that the main model in the Russian political practice is the model of violence which is used in order to achieve group interests in the form of open hostility of different social groups with the use of political technologies to intensify and escalate confl ict. This process including the use of internal and external enemies search, in which the conflict parties, prepare not to compromise, but to the maximum tension.
