The purpose of the article is to reveal the definition of "political provincialism" and to analyze the phenomenon of post-Soviet states in the choice of their values. The article consists of three parts, which reflect the appeal to such concepts as "sovereignty", "political provincialism", "traumatic past" and "resentment", which are actively used in modern political discourse. In the first part, the researcher examines the theoretical aspects of the concept of "sovereignty" in the interaction of different types of states. The author comes to the conclusion that sovereignty continues to be the value that allows the state at any time to realize its inherent functions. The second part of the article reveals the definition of "political provincialism" and analyzes the phenomenon of post-Soviet states. The methods and mechanisms of political provincialism used for self-affirmation and consolidation of new "sovereign communities" in the post-Soviet space are analyzed. The third part is devoted to an examination of the political practices of post-Soviet and post-socialist states in interaction with Russia, the main of which are the traumatic past and resentment. The author notes that the identification of the “Russian” with the discredited “Soviet” allows the current leadership of these countries to form a stable image of the “enemy” among the population, to present Russia as the culprit of all failures. At the same time, in order to receive political and economic preferences from the West, politicians of many states of the post-Soviet space and Eastern Europe are actively using elements of resentment and a traumatic past. All of this ultimately has a very negative impact on the relationship between Russia and Western countries.
