This article analyzes the reinforcement of Eurasian identity on the example of Russian foreign policy in Eurasia, regional integration organizations and revival of the Great Silk Road. For a long time Eurasian countries were on the periphery of the world economy due to historical reasons and they are still considered emerging markets, but gradually have start dynamic development. The high degree of instability in the world economy makes regional centers search for additional opportunities in the international cooperation that is largely determined by geo-economic mechanisms. The phenomenon of the Eurasian continental integration remains under-investigated, including the difficulties of terminological definition and perception. In fact, the Eurasian integration is the coordination of economic, political and social interests of the Eurasian supercontinent regions. The concept of the regional economic integration relies on the Eurasian idea as a fundamental condition for the rapprochement of peoples and cultures. The history of the Great Silk Road reflects the interpenetration of cultures, technological exchange and dissemination of cultural values. The article argues that modern Eurasian integration is a politically constructed space that emphasizes civilization complementarity, peaceful coexistence of peoples and formation of the «interaction zone»
