Formation and implementation of the national policy in the regions of the Russian Federation

Abstract

The problem of development and improvement of the state national policy of the Russian Federation in recent years is a popular topic in political and scientific discourse. In the conditions of formation of stability of the regional political system, as well as the multi-ethnicity in most of the Russian republics, the issues of managing inter-ethnic relations and the formation of national policy at the local level are among the most important ones. They have a significant impact on the stability and development of both the subject of Russian Federation and the country as a whole. This article analyzes the basic principles of the formation and implementation of national policies in the context of determining strategies for political stability in the republics of the Russian Federation. The existing system of ensuring political stability in the regions should provide opportunities for maintaining autonomy for ethnic groups, but at the same time correlate claims within the regions with the political attitudes and regulatory requirements of the federal center. The policy pursued by regional elites in the field of language, culture, education is one of the most important elements of national policy, and, accordingly, the maintenance of regional stability, since it is necessary to contain ethnic elites at the initial stage of development. Language, culture and other important categories are the external identifiers that form the ethnicity.
