The article deals with issues of conflict of identities and multiculturalism, and suggests a policy of multicultural identity as one of the possible answers. In defining its process of searching for the possibility of coexistence in various cultural societies of different ethnic and national groups, emigrant communities, etc., it is emphasized that the formation of a national identity, as one of the most important collective identities, plays a leading role. In the context of national identity and prevention of its crisis in the situation of legal multiculturalism, the role of national values is emphasized. In particular, on the example of Ukraine, that in its development as a democratic law-abiding state uses not only its own assets, but borrowings from more developed legal cultures, as well. It is important to note that the role of national identity in the context of legal multiculturalism can not be overemphasized. The processes of global integration often cause the blurring of borders between existing cultural groups, and without proper assimilation and a properly applied policy of legal multiculturalism, there are either a few closed groups that do not have a proper dialogue or a single but isolated society without a nucleus in the form of a national identity. Given that legal multiculturalism as a philosophical and legal theory in its original form is one of the most likely variants of the existence of a pluralistic society, national identity is a necessary element of building a strong democratic legal state.
