Abstract: This article examines the representation of the cultural identity of political science students within the discipline “Intercultural Communication” in several aspects (“I” - “Other”, group culture, discourse and pragmatics). The article emphasizes the need to rethink such concepts as “group culture”, “identity”, “political discourse” and “intercultural competence” for the development of cultural identity and the formation of intercultural communicative competence of future political scientists in accordance with modern realities. The article examines how a written text (essay) represents the cultural identity of students in situations of intercultural interaction, what markers activate cultural identity in intercultural communication, and determines the extent to which the intercultural communication of interlocutors depends on the influence of their cultural identity. The research data were collected from 25 students of the Political Science major studying in 2023–2024. Although the results of the study are not conclusive, they indicate that cultural identity dominates students' ethnocentric views and that stereotypes continue to influence the negotiation of identities in intercultural communication.
