The article presents the views of 30 experts on a number of national policy problems in the Chuvash Republic. According to experts, friendly, conflict-free interethnic and interconfessional relations prevail in Chuvashia, rare cases of negative interethnic contacts are characteristic of everyday situations, most often related to the use of native languages. The possibility of interethnic conflicts is considered as unlikely. They may be associated with potentially ill-conceived actions in the sphere of linguistic and other ethno-cultural interests of representatives of individual peoples. According to experts, preservation and improvement of good-neighborly relations between representatives of certain ethnic groups are greatly influenced by the verified national policy and successful economic development of the republic. Some experts support the opinion which prevails among the republic population on the negative impact of labor migrants on the labor market opportunities for the old-age population, although statistics data do not confirm such attitudes. From experts’ viewpoint, successful implementation of national policy in the republic could be facilitated by organization of a special state management structure (ministry, committee), active involvement of enthusiasts in national cultural associations in various management issues, regular ethnological monitoring, dissemination of positive practices in the field of interethnic relations, etc. In general, experts believe that there is no noticeable influence of the ethnic factor on real politics in Chuvashia.

Introduction. Ethnosociological monitoring in a polyethnic region is conducted not only due to the need for an assessment of the public policy regulation in this field, but also due to the increase in the heuristic potential for preventing various kinds of social conflicts. The objective of the paper is to identify the dynamics of the development of interethnic relations in the Republic of Mordovia and the influence of various stratification processes on the development of ethnic relations, based on a comparative analysis of scientific studies. Materials and Methods. Regular sociological measurements carried out by the Research Institute of Regionology under Ogarev Mordovia State University and by the Scientific Center for Social and Economic Monitoring in 1990–2010 were used as the research materials. The interpretation of the results was carried out using the institutional, comparative and natural historical methods. Results. The main trends in the development of mass consciousness of the population of a polyethnic region in the context of various socio-political periods of the development of Russia have been revealed: from the ‘parade of sovereignties’ that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union to the reactualization of the ideology of a strong multiethnic Russian state. It has been emphasized that over the years, the main reasons exerting a negative impact on the nature of interethnic relations have mainly been not the interethnic conflicts, but the politically or economically marked factors (the economic crisis, inflation, appointment to managerial posts based on the ethnicity of a person, income inequality between representatives of different ethnic origins, etc.). Discussion and Conclusion. Although interethnic relations in the Republic of Mordovia has almost never achieved an increased level of conflict, the republic’s leadership was able to build an effective system for regulating them, which made it possible to minimize the degree of social and ethnic tension in society. The article may be useful to scientists and practitioners in the field of the development of interethnic relations and to all those interested in the issues of ethnosociology.

Abstract Background Despite a strong evidence base and policy recommendation supporting the implementation of psychoeducation interventions within the mental health system, equitable access for many service users and family members has not been achieved. To enhance translation, developing an evidence-base around the factors that influence implementation of interventions is critical.Methods The aim of the study was to explore the factors influencing implementation of a group cofacilitated recovery focused psychoeducation intervention. The study design was explorative qualitative descriptive, involving the collection of data through individual and focus group interviews with key stakeholders (n=75) involved with the implementation within 14 mental health sites in the Republic of Ireland. The Consolidation Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) was used as a conceptual framework to guide data collection and analysis. Results Key enablers and barriers were identified across all CFIR domains of the framework with some factors (depending on context) being both an enabler and a barrier. National policy; structural stability with national systems; leadership at all levels; peer payment system; local champions and support from multidisciplinary team members; evidence strength and quality of the programme design; availability of resources; referral pathways; knowledge, beliefs and self-efficacy of facilitators, as well as local culture influenced implementation. While some were specific to the programme, many barriers reflected systemic and structural challenges within health services more generally. Conclusion: Findings from this study provide an enhanced understanding of the different layers of determinants to implementation of an intervention. Overcoming challenges will involve positive and ongoing engagement and collaboration across the full range of stakeholders that are active within each domain, including policy and operational levels. The quality of leadership at each domain level is of crucial importance to successful implementation.

The Republic of Crimea is a unique and strategically important region of the Russian Federation in the Azov-Black Sea region. The unique historical path of development of the territory, the multinational and multiconfessional composition of the population, and cultural diversity determined the special place of the Republic of Crimea in the cultural space of Russia. At the present stage of development, state national policy aimed at harmonizing interethnic relations and resolving interethnic conflicts is actively pursued. No doubt, constant replenishment of scientific knowledge about the current state of interethnic relations and trends in their changes is required. Nowadays, federal executive bodies are involved in the implementation of measures in the field of state national policy; civil society institutions take an active part. Significant funds are spent on coordinating their joint activities in the field of national policy, and the visible result is, unfortunately, not always achieved, since there is no single center of interaction, and ethno-confessional factors are not always taken into account in their work. The article is devoted to the implementation of state national policy in the territory of the Republic of Crimea, the peculiarities of its legal regulation, measures to ensure state unity and harmonization of the sphere of interethnic relations in the territory of the Republic of Crimea are also analyzed.

The article considers the legal aspects of socio-economic development of national districts and village councils in the Ukrainian SSR in the 1920 s and 1930 s.It is established that during the 1920 s and 1930 s the legal policy on the socio-economic development of the territories of compact residence of the national minorities of the USSR had different tendencies and different intensity of implementation. At the stage of the establishment of Soviet power, the essence of the national policy of the Bolsheviks was mainly to equalize the rights of representatives of different nationalities. At the same time, national equality in the USSR was enshrined at the constitutional level and proclaimed in all social spheres: political and legal, socio-economic and cultural-national. It was found that the equal redistribution of landholdings of foreign colonists in favour of Ukrainian or Russian peasants led to the liquidation of national parishes and economic decline of national minorities, as well as increased emigration among colonists and laid the groundwork for worsening interethnic relations.It is proved that the policy of indigenization initiated in the mid-1920 s, which extended to the socioeconomic sphere, contributed to the more active involvement of national minorities in productive activities, improving their socio-economic situation, increasing their political activity and culture, overcoming tensions. Sphere of interethnic relations. The refusal of the Soviet leadership in the early 1930 s from the achievements of the national policy of the 1920 s led to growing dissatisfaction among national minorities and protests, as well as aggravated interethnic relations in the USSR. The necessity of taking into account socio-economic factors in the process of legal regulation of interethnic relations is substantiated

Interethnic relations in the post-Soviet Dagestan society are not stable. A complex of unsolved socio-economic, political, spiritual, and personnel problems, which generally negatively affect the interethnic climate especially in polyethnic administrative formations, contributes to the deterioration of the state of interethnic interactions of the Dagestan peoples. Basing on the results of the sociological survey carried out in the republic to study the state of interethnic tension, the author of the article shows the origin of interethnic conflicts on ethnic grounds in some settlements or municipal formations as the result of the change in the vectors of development of interethnic relations in the modern Dagestan society. In the author’s opinion, the main problem is inability of the republican authorities to prevent effectively interethnic tension in the relations between peoples. The results of the study show that the respondents emphasize the growth of interethnic tension and deterioration of the interethnic climate, but, in spite of this, Dagestan peoples are eager to maintain positive interethnic communication. In the situation of exacerbation of interethnic relations, the state authorities of the republic are to pursue national policy aimed at maintaining interethnic harmony and stability in Dagestan.

The article is devoted to the processes of adaptation and employment of migrants from the Republic of Tajikistan in the Russian Federation from 1991up to 2019. The author applied the conditional division of this period into two stages — from 1991up to 2000 and from 2001 up to the present time — according to the quantitative and qualitative differences that characterize each stage. Within the frameworks of both stages, historical, sociocultural and legal factors that influence the processes of adaptation and employment of Tajik migrants in the Russian Federation are analyzed. At the end, it is concluded that from 1991 to the present moment these processes have undergone a complex evolution. A negative impact on these processes is noted, exerted by the lack of large-scale domestic proj ects and programs aimed at helping and supporting labor migrants, as well as by imperfections in the migration legislation of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Russian Federation. However, the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan understands the need for cooperation with the Russian Federation in order to streamline the status of labor migrants from the Republic of Tajikistan in the Russian Federation and their protection, readiness for this cooperation, the officially expressed position of the Government of the Russian Federation, active work carried out in this direction by the Russian Federation of Migrants, and also by Tajik public organizations and human rights defenders, in general, indicate a positive trend in the decision to problems that impede the processes of adaptation and employment of migrants from the Republic of Tajikistan on the territory of the Russian Federation.
