Rating of inter-ethnic tensions in RF regions

Russia is a multinational state. But, unfortunately, not always the diversity of peoples can coexist peacefully side by side. The Center for the Study of National Conflicts has published the rating of inter-ethnic tension in the regions of the Russian Federation .

The ten most unfortunate regions included both central Russia and the South, as well as the North Caucasus District. Well, Kaliningrad, Mari El, Tuva and Yamalo-Nenets oblasts were among the most prosperous regions in the inter-ethnic sphere.

10. Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug

Although active activities of nationalist associations have not been noted in the district, conflicts between local residents of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District and migrants from the Caucasus and from the poorer republics of the Srea are not uncommonIt Asia.

9. Rostov Region

The majority of interethnic conflicts are connected with people from the Caucasus. Most often, persecution of Caucasians is expressed in mass events, the distribution of nationalist leaflets, propaganda in social networks.

8. Nizhny Novgorod region

The region found itself in an "anti-rating" due to a conflict with the Armenian natives in December last year, which resulted in the murder of A. Slakayev. The murder provoked a series of pogroms. At the very end of December, a big fight between Armenians and radical Russophiles occurred already in Nizhny Novgorod itself.

7. Astrakhan Region

Interethnic tension in the region is associated with the activity of nationalist movements directed against people from the Caucasus. During 2013, at least 4 so-called "Russian marches" were held in the Astrakhan region.

6. Krasnodar Territory

As a rule, Chechens, Ingush, and natives of Kabardino-Balkaria are participants in inter-ethnic clashes in the province. The reduction of tensions between ethnic groups was facilitated by the holding of the Olympic Games, during which security measures were significantly strengthened.

5. Republic of Tatarstan

The main conflicts on national soil arise between the main ethnic group of the region, the Tatars, and the rest of the population of the Republic. During the past year, conflicts with the participation of numerous migrants from the North Caucasus countries were also noted.

4. Stavropol Territory

The region attracts immigrants from the Caucasus republics by its proximity, economic stability, the availability of universities, infrastructure, jobs. As a result, mass uncontrolled migration leads to an increase in inter-ethnic tensions, as it is negatively perceived by the indigenous population of Stavropol.

3. St. Petersburg

Interethnic tension in the northern capital is associated with the activities of ultra-right and fan groups. As a rule, the activities of nationalist associations are directed against people from the Caucasus or from the Central Asian republics.

2. Moscow

Interethnic conflicts in the capital often take on a political color. Manifestations of nationalism attract the attention of the media, as a result of which all the actions are widely resonated. Moscow is also characterized by the extremely young age of the participants in interethnic clashes - these are teenagers 15-17 years old.

1. Dagestan

It is Dagestan that is the most multinational region of the Russian Federation - it is inhabited by representatives of 14 indigenous peoples. Conflicts are most often caused by uneasy relations between different clans, sub-ethnoses and ethnic groups. The spread of radical Islam, as well as the high level of unemployment in Dagestan, also contributes to inciting hatred.
