Based on the results of regional sociological re- search, the authors compare the perception of the ethno-social situation in the groups of “optimists”, “pessimists” and those whose social well-being has cautious and moderate characteristics. The authors come to the con- clusion that in terms of the economic crisis the importance of belonging to a particular group as the factor of the attitude to the ethnically “another” and the assessment of the interethnic relations increases: the adverse social well-being with low level of material prosperity, lack of stable employment and negative daily social psychological state leads to the strengthening of tension in the perception of the interethnic relations.
