A theoretical model for the preservation of ethnocultural diversity in republics

The article discusses the peculiarities of preserving ethnocultural and linguistic diversity in republics as a part of the implementation of the state national policy in the Russian Federation. We have emphasized the specificity of cultural differences in republics, which make necessary the maintaining of ethnosocial balance in the institutions of power and administration. During the study, we propose a theoretical model for the preservation of ethnic and cultural diversity in republics, which is aimed at the development of institutional mechanisms for harmonizing the interests of ethnic communities in the regional policy system. A model is meant for maintainance of the ethnic balance in the republic. The structure of the presented model includes the following main elements: subjects of diversity, an object, a purpose of preserving ethnocultural diversity, main actors and methods of implementation. The study will complement scientific knowledge in the development of regional models of national policy.
