New regional separatism in the Russian Federation (2014-2021)

Despite the fact that for almost 20 years in Russia there has been relative political stability, nevertheless, there are risks to its statehood, which are manifested at a latent level. In particular, the author is talking about a new regional separatism, which for objective and subjective reasons is ripening in a number of subjects of the Federation. The article is devoted to the analysis of this phenomenon. The author gives his own typology of neoseparatism and notes that the latter, in contrast to the «brutal» separatism of the 1990s, is rather moderate and restrained one. Although under certain conditions, it can become a catalyst for destabilization in a number of regions of the country.
