Abstract

The article is dedicated to identification and study of mental grounds for innovative development of Chuvashia in modern conditions. Its novelty is defined by constantly emerging scientific literature studying the effects of sociocultural environment on economy development and various factors on the attitude to innovations, but also the need for a more complex study of the effect of Russian peoples’ mentality on innovative development of areas since the latter almost always remains beyond the scope of research interests. The article is based on theoretical and evidential information found in the treatises of Russian and foreign researchers. It uses the methods of abstraction, analysis and synthesis,
deduction and induction, modeling, generalization, comparison, and a cross-disciplinary approach. Innovation is considered as a modern feature of civilization development. Factors affecting the country’s innovative development are identified. The mentality is considered as a sociocultural factor of innovative activity. Primary approaches to defining the notion of innovative mentality and its primary features are generalized. An abstract model of innovative mentality is proposed. Primary features of Chuvash mentality are considered. Comparative analysis of abstract models of innovative mentality and Chuvash mentality is carried out. A conclusion about the mentality effect on the innovative development of Chuvashia is justified.
