Abstract

The present study deals with the issues of inter-ethnic and interconfessional understanding in the Khanty-Mansijsk Autonomous District – Yugra. The authors pay special attention to interconnection between conflict sentiments and social and political issues (employment relations, cooperation of citi-zens and public organizations with authorities, so-cial feeling of citizens). There was conducted an analysis of specific nature of how respondents, who identify themselves with different ethnic groups, perceive such elements of ethnocultural traditions as religious practices and speaking their native lan-guage. The study examines peculiar attitudes to religious traditions both in the host and migrant societies, the patterns of expansion of protest sen-timents among respondents belonging to different ethnic groups, as well as correlation between such sentiments and problems of interethnic and inter-confessional relations. There are identified socioec-onomic and cultural factors of developing a conflict-free style of interethnic and interconfessional rela-tions.
