In 2016 Advice on interethnic relations under the President Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Council) continued to work to ensure interaction between federal and regional authorities, public associations, scientific and other organizations when considering issues related to the implementation of the country’s state national policy.

“You and I continued to solve our main task - ensuring a stable positive state of interethnic relations in order to ensure the safe and comfortable well-being of all Russians, all our citizens of different nationalities,” he emphasized. – In this regard, within the framework of the implementation of the Strategy of the State National Policy of the Russian Federation, instructions from the head of state, we continued to work on wide range tasks, including increasing efficiency government controlled in the field of interethnic relations at the federal, regional and municipal levels; implementation of a system of state monitoring in the field of interethnic and interfaith relations; curbing the influence of radical nationalist and religious movements, especially among young people and among migrants; minimizing foreign influence on the activities of Russian non-profit organizations and preventing the use of the ethnic factor to destabilize the internal political situation in the country during the “election” period.”
M. Magomedov noted with satisfaction that almost 80% of Russians consider relations between people of different nationalities to be friendly or normal, while several years ago only 55% of citizens gave such an assessment. According to opinion polls, the percentage of respondents noting the possibility of conflicts on ethnic grounds has also decreased (2014 - 19.8%, 2015 - 17.9%, 2016 - 17.1%).
The Executive Secretary of the Council separately touched upon the main domestic political event of 2016 – the elections to the State Duma.
“Thanks to the balanced position of the leadership of the main political parties, it was possible to avoid politicization of the national issue and prevent attempts to destabilize the situation on interethnic grounds. Leaders of federal national-cultural autonomies and national public associations also played a major role here, who this year were actively involved in the implementation of national policy,” noted M. Magomedov.
The speaker recalled that today more than 1,200 national and cultural autonomies are registered in Russia. In 2016, another 86 new organizations were created. In addition to the traditionally active peoples from this point of view (Germans, Jews, Tatars, Armenians and Azerbaijanis), the Ubykhs, Yezidis, Ingush, Chinese, Koreans and others showed interest in creating autonomies.

The active work of the commissions and the results achieved give us hope for continuation fruitful work Council in the coming 2017. At the same time, as the Executive Secretary of the Council M. Magomedov noted, the conflict potential in the sphere of interethnic relations in Russia is still quite high. This is facilitated by the growth of foreign political tension and the escalation of armed conflicts in the Near and Middle East, Transcaucasia and other regions of the world. “They are primarily interreligious and interethnic in nature. Destructive forces are also making attempts to use the multinationality of Russia to destabilize the internal political situation,” M. Magomedov emphasized.
In addition, the sphere of interethnic relations cannot but be affected by the socio-economic complexity in the country, caused by crisis phenomena in the global economy and the controlled pressure of a number of foreign countries. Thus, according to VTsIOM surveys, the number of residents of the country who are confident in the existence of national unity this year decreased by 10% compared to the previous year and amounted to 44%, and the number of fellow citizens who are confident in its absence increased by 9% and amounted to the same 44%.
“These figures, as well as other measurements confirming the concerns of Russian citizens about the current economic situation, warn of a possible change in the mood of society in the near future and require careful approaches to the implementation of state national policy and the speedy commissioning of a state system for monitoring the state of interethnic relations and early warning of conflicts situations,” noted M. Magomedov, adding that this system, developed by the FADN of Russia, has already begun to work in test mode in 84 constituent entities of the Russian Federation and demonstrates positive results in the field of preventing the escalation of interethnic conflicts.
“I am confident, however, that the potential for strengthening national unity is very great,” summarized the Executive Secretary of the Council, who expressed the hope that the adoption of the law on Russian nation, the preparation of which will be undertaken by a special working group of the Council, which will include experienced qualified experts and scientists.

Our agenda includes an analysis of the implementation of the State National Policy Strategy at the regional and municipal level. This is a fundamentally important and key document for our multinational country.
You know that his project was widely discussed, over 3 thousand comments and suggestions were taken into account, and the main priorities were identified - preserving the ethnocultural diversity of the peoples of Russia, strengthening the civil identity and spiritual community of our nation.
These are the main areas of activity for all levels of government. But in regions and municipalities, work on them is more concentrated, intense, and filled with specific content. This is natural: the closer you are to people, the more specific everything becomes.
Each territory has its own characteristics of interethnic relations, and, of course, they need to be taken into account, while ensuring uniform approaches to solving the problems of the national policy of the state as a whole.
To be continued.

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree “On the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Interethnic Relations,” the press service of the head of state reported on Thursday. As stated in the text of the document on the website of the head of state, the new body was founded “in order to improve state policy in the field of interethnic relations.”
The main tasks that the council will solve are the following: consideration of the conceptual foundations, goals and objectives of the state national policy of the Russian Federation; discussion of the practice of its implementation; preparation of proposals to determine priority areas of national policy; ensuring interaction federal center, local governments and public associations on issues of interethnic relations.
The decree lists the composition of the council. President Vladimir Putin was announced as the chairman of the new body. His deputies on the council were First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vyacheslav Volodin and Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kozak. Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation for domestic policy Pavel Zenkovich.
Among the members of the council are also the head of the Federal Migration Service Konstantin Romodanovsky, the chairman of the Public Chamber commission on interethnic relations and freedom of conscience Nikolai Svanidze, the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky and others.
Let us remember that for a long time the authorities discussed the possibility of reviving the Ministry of Nationalities. Agencies of a similar profile existed in Russia until 2001, when the Ministry of Federation Affairs, National and Migration Policy was liquidated.
However, due to the crisis recent years In national relations, proposals began to be made to restore the ministry. There was no unity in tandem on this issue. Early last year, then-President Dmitry Medvedev opposed the idea of recreating the country's Ministry of National Affairs. He stated that attempts to create “another bureaucratic structures have never solved interethnic and interfaith problems.”
Then Medvedev expressed the opinion that work in this area should be carried out by the government and parliament. Before this, Medvedev stated that regions should be responsible for maintaining civil peace and interethnic relations, since this is where crimes on this basis occur.
However, in December last year, Vladimir Putin, who was then Prime Minister, did not rule out that a new Ministry for Nationalities Affairs would be created in the government. Putin recalled that national issues are now being resolved in the Ministry of Regional Development, but apparently this is not enough. The Ministry of Regional Development is focused on social and economic issues, and problems national development and interactions between ethnic groups in Russia are fading into the background, the Prime Minister admitted.
However, as you can see, it was decided to abandon this idea, limiting it to the Council on Interethnic Relations.
On June 7, 2012, Vladimir Putin signed the Decree “On the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Interethnic Relations.”
