Abstract
The article deals with institutional formal and informal practices of interethnic cooperation and their influence on developing the national and civic identity in polyethnic communities in the South of Russia. The doctrinal documents and statutory regulations that govern the formal practices of interethnic cooperation contemplate involving civil society institutions in implementing the state national policy of the Russian Federation within the framework of the public-private partnership, thus creating institutional conditions for developing the national and civic identity. Informal practices of interethnic cooperation that have formed in local communities as a result of the dialogue between government officials, nongovernmental organizations, and ethnic groups allow developing common goals and public values, which are the basis of developing the national and civic identity and strengthening the civil unity.

Collapse of the Soviet Union, dismantling of the soviet ideology oriented towards the intercultural integration, which was reflected in the notion of internationalism, and the active period of ethnic mobilization in political sphere, that lasted in Russia for over 10 years, required new forms of organization and practices for the interethnic cooperation in the regional polyethnic communities
Formal institutional practices of interethnic cooperation in the South of Russia are regulated by such statutory documents as "The National Policy Strategy of the Russian Federation till 2025” and the State Program of the Russian Federation “Implementation of the State National Policy”
Summary
; Informal practices of interethnic cooperation; Institutional practices of interethnic cooperation; Interethnic cooperation; National and civic identity; State and civic identity. In Russia in the 1990s, there was an attempt, in the course of liberal transformations, to implement the nation-building project aimed at forming a civil nation and the national and civic identity as a necessary condition of the national integration and consolidation of the Russian society. Implementation of the project resulted in formation of a polyethnic political nation in Russia that united citizens of the Russian Federation, and the national identity, which was called "state and civic identity" within the scientific discourse. That wave cancelled out the attempt of implementing the nation- relations in Russia [8], focusing on the existing problems and building project aimed at forming a civil nation and the national contradictions [9].
