Abstract

The article examines the ethno-political situation in the republics with the Finno-Ugric population, the doctrinal and legal foundations for the republican models of ethno-politics, as well as the ideological positions of ethnonational movements of the Finno-Ugric peoples and their impact on specific ethno-politics practices and their justification. It is shown that the regional models of ethnopolitics do not fully comply with the goals and objectives formulated in the “Strategy of State National Policy” and in particular with the task of constructing the unified doctrinal and legal field of ethnopolitics. In regional models and practices of ethnopolitics, ethnicity and ethnic interests of individual groups are often contrasted (directly or indirectly) against the ideas of citizenship and the general interests of territorial communities. The authorities of the republics as experts employ ethnic activists and researchers engaged in ethnic movements, many of whom in their analysis of ethnocultural processes and phenomena are guided by natural philosophical ideas of ethnical nationalism and directly contrast ethnicity to citizenship.
