СОЦИАЛЬНАЯ СПРАВЕДЛИВОСТЬ В СИСТЕМЕ МЕЖЭТНИЧЕСКИХ ОТНОШЕНИЙ В ЮЖНОРОССИЙСКИХ РЕГИОНАХ С РАЗНЫМ АДМИНИСТРАТИВНЫМ СТАТУСОМ

Abstract

Objective of the study is to determine the influence of social justice on the nature of interethnic relations in the context of the implementation of national policies aimed at integrating a multicultural Russian society in regions with different administrative and political systems (republics, oblasts, territories). The methodological basis of the research is presented by the theory of constructivism as a methodological framework for analyzing the ideas of the population of the regions of the South of Russia about the value foundations of social justice in ethnically marked interactions, assessments of the priority directions of national policy, as well as the semantic and value foundations of the integration of Russian society. The empirical object of the study was the population of the regions of the South of Russia, which were differentiated according to the administrative and political structure: Rostov Region, Krasnodar Territory, Republic of Crimea, Karachay-Cherkess Republic. The subject field of the study included collective ideas about social justice and the expectations of the population in the sphere of regulating interethnic relations and implementing national policy from the standpoint of the principle of justice.   Research results. It is established that the understanding of justice in relation to ethnic groups by the population of the regions of the South of Russia with different administrative status has some differences peculiar for the sphere of public interaction. In particular, in national republics, the understanding of justice in ethnically marked interactions is associated with representation in power and with the prevention of violence and political repression on a national basis, in regions with the status of a region/province - with respect for ethnic groups, as well as with the preservation and development of ethnic cultures. As priorities within the framework of the implementation of national policy in the regions, the tasks of ensuring equality of all people, supporting national languages, coordinating the interests of all social groups and preventing conflicts are highlighted. The ideological foundations of the integration of Russian society as a system of social interactions united by a common goal, common values and shared ideas about the means of exchange and justice are contradictory. The population of the regions of the South of Russia, regardless of the administrative status of the region of residence, is guided equally by two opposite positions, reflecting, on the one hand, the priority of personal social and economic well-being, and on the other, public interest, actualized through the idea of the revival of the country as a great power. Prospects of the study. The results of the study can be used to implement the practices of state national policy, taking into account the peculiarities of perception and attitudes in the sphere of everyday and public interaction of residents in regions with different administrative status. Further research work on this topic is related to the analysis of the reasons for the differentiation of positions and assessments of the population in the studied regions, depending on the socio-demographic and historical status of ethnic groups living in the regions of the South of Russia.
