Evseeva M.A. “Ethnic niches” and “ethnic quotas” in the regions of the Russian Federation: modern ideas. Issues of national and federal relations. 2022. Vol. 12. No. 12 (93). Pp. 4571-4577.

Abstract

The article attempts to illustrate the current state of interethnic (interethnic) interaction by the type of ethnic niches in different territories of the Russian Federation. Expert interviews obtained in the framework of studies conducted in Kabardino-Balkaria and Sakha (Yakutia) in different years were used as the main source. The main conclusions of the analysis are that, firstly, in some territories, the historically formed type of social interaction on the principle of ethnic niches is still preserved; secondly, despite the fact that ethnic quotas may have a traditional character, this does not always ensure the absence of competition between representatives of contacting nationalities.
