Abstract
Understanding cultural and social processes which are taking place in the region of the South of Russia is of great importance for its development. Interaction between ethnic group and its resource potential, risks and opportunities are of special significance. The authors focus on two issues: the analyses of the chronological stages of the Greek presence in the territory of modern South of Russia and designation of the main problems of the Greek diaspora at the present stage. As a result, six stages having rather significant differences are allocated. Questions of ethnic and confessional self-determination, adaptation mechanisms in the foreign culture environment and forms of interaction with local population at various stages are considered. Close political, cultural and religious connection of Russia and Greece, throughout the long period of history, generated one of the main problems in maintenance and reproduction of ethnic identity of Greeks in the South of Russia.
