For the Council meeting was symbolically chosen Astrakhan. With a population of 530 thousand people in this city live more than 100 ethnic groups and 14 religious confessions. However, before dealing with ethnic issues, Putin has paid attention to business. Before the Council meeting, he had solemnly enter in the operation field. V. Filanovsky owned by the company “LUKOIL”. A meeting of the Board the President began with the positive news, saying that thanks to the implementation of the strategy of state national policy of Russia successfully opposed to “global threats” in the face of extremism and terrorism.
“as a result, almost 80% of the citizens of the country — I noted this with satisfaction — I think relations between people of different nationalities are friendly or normal”, — Putin has led the statistics, adding with pride that a few years ago the figure was only 55 percent.
But relax, as it turned out, not worth it, especially when in the modern world “growing trend of erosion of traditional values.” Positive followed by negative. Several times repeating that inter-ethnic relations — the sphere of “delicate and sensitive” and the work there required, Putin said that coordination between the authorities implementing the national policy is still not established. Next, the President noted the “social and cultural adaptation of migrants”. According to him, at present this area is not sufficient “legal rules, organizational and economic tools”.
“you Must define Federal authority responsible for this direction”, — Putin said.
as If in answer to this remark in a discussion joined by the head of the Federal Agency for the Affairs of nationalities (FADH) Igor Barinov. Recall that the Agency was formed about half a year ago. Then it caused a big stir in the media, however, after some time the attention of the Agency has weakened.
Now, however, Barinov told Putin that just on the areas that he pointed out, FADH is active. The gentleman talked about a lack of cooperation with expert and scientific community, and about the already implemented “a system of monitoring inter-ethnic relations”.
“Even now, despite the implementation of only one tenth of the potential capabilities of our system, it is with high probability allows to warn at an early stage a large-scale conflict similar to what happened on Manezh square in Biryulyovo or Kondopoga”, — proudly told the head of the FADH and asked the government to include in the list of priorities for a full launch of this system.
the government is Now working to transfer the Agency requires the “regular number” and “Federal funds” for the implementation of tasks on socio-cultural adaptation of migrants. In case of realization of this task, the gentleman promised that the Agency will undertake in this area, that is, a Federal Agency, which Putin said.
After Putin and Barinova joined experts. Head of the Center for studies of interethnic relations of Institute of sociology leocadia Drobizheva talked about the need to overcome ethnic stereotypes and that the Russian nation is glorified not only athletes, but also scientists, inventors. She asked the President to give a special instruction to promote academics and University employees in the international sphere in teachers ‘ and teaching the masses.
Putin liked the idea. “Link your work with the practical activities of universities is extremely important,” he praised the initiative of the President, noting that it would “give the idea legs.”
once the head of state intervened in the discussion. One of the participants suggested to go the way of Western countries and create a single register of Russian ethnic groups of the nation who may qualify for the preferential acquisition of citizenship. The President noted that in all practices to focus on the West is not necessary, as in their ethnic politics is not all right.
However, some ideas are found and approval of Putin. In particular the year of unity of the Russian nation: “Only need to choose this year.”
But most importantly, the President emphasized, is the creation of the law of the Russian nation. In its basis lie the Strategy of state national policy. The creation of this law, Putin took to things that “just need to realize”. At the Council meeting the idea was proposed to the chair of the Russian Academy of national economy and public administration, ex-Minister for nationalities Vyacheslav Mikhailov. His version of the name of the law “On the Russian nation and the management of ethnic relations.” In his speech he said that the law must finally reveal this concept. Many participants talked about the need to separate the concepts of “nation” and “ethnic groups”.
During a meeting at the right hand of the President of the sitting the first Deputy head of his administration Sergei Kiriyenko. Speech, he did not say, but at least once the camera recorded that Putin kept him lively conversation.
Head of the sector migration and integration processes of the Institute of sociology Vladimir Mukomel told “Газетой.Ru” expressed the opinion that the law should have a broad practical application. “If he will that all should be friends, is not going to work. The law should clearly regulate the relationship of Russian citizens and representatives of different ethnic groups — without which it will remain declarative” — said the expert, noting that in Russia is absent the anti-discrimination legislation.
Mukomel believes that despite the fact that civic identity in the country is quite high, the problem of formation of “civic nation” in Russia, faced with a rather strong xenophobic sentiments: “the impression that some representatives of the authorities from time to time these sentiments support”.
the Head of the Political expert group Konstantin Kalachev believes that the announcement of the law on the Russian nation is a continuation of the ideas of the “Russian spring”, which gained its force after the annexation of Crimea.
“It has greatly increased Putin’s rating. And now there are attempts to consolidate this electoral support,” sees in the initiative a pragmatic sense, the analyst, Recalling the presidential elections in 2018.
the Idea of institutionalization of the Russian nation is extremely popular with nationalists. Another thing is that the final version of the law they may not like Putin, Kalacheva, bills itself as a “civic nationalist”, “They are likely to say that it is half measures”.
in addition, until the end obscure the details of what criteria will be identified for the nation. Kalachev believes that to copy the American idea of a unified nation with many nationalities without taking into account Russian specifics is not necessary.
in addition, there are questions will it improve really something in the field of international relations stated the law. “Recently, Yakutia recognized as the homeland of the Yakuts. Russian patriots are envious. But what has really changed?” — ironically Kalachev.
