Abstract

The article analyzes the activities of youth public associations as subjects of national policy in Russia, which is a new research direction carried out at the junction of two subject areas of scientific knowledge – ethnopolitology and ethnosociology. The strategy of the state national policy of Russia, as a priority task, formulated the activation of the participation of public organizations in the development and regulation of interethnic relations.
