national question and its structure is studied from economic, demographic, ethnographic, political science, and other points of view.The study of ethnic systems necessary for a better understanding of the social development of our time.

As you know, people have gone through several stages in their ethnic formation.The human race is in the course of development formed in the nation.At the same time the views of many sociologists agree that this concept (nation) can be called a large social group, which has developed in a particular area and has a common history, literary language, the individual characteristics of the psychological order.It should be noted that most of the developed nations in the era of capitalism.

In the world there are countries whose territories are inhabited by many different peoples.Russia is a multinational state.At the same time the exact number of nationalities living on its territory is very difficult to call.More than 94% are ten numerically large nations.

Unlike some other countries (such as America), where representatives of different nationalities have the ancestral home and the ability to "reemigrirovat" in Russia the majority of peoples - aboriginals.

According to analysts, the national question has intensified after the restructuring.In Russia, according to the polls, in early 1989, more than seventy percent of the residents are treated equally to the representatives of various nationalities.Thus, the country has a high degree of ethnic tolerance.It was relatively high and the level of international cooperation.For example, more than 40% expressed positive with respect to marriages between people of different nationalities.In addition, more than fifty percent were in family ties, and nearly 90% had friends among the other nations.There was a negative attitude towards persons of other nationalities.He expressed some three per cent of the indigenous population.More than eight percent believe that the region should not be members of other nationalities.

During the perestroika years the situation has changed a lot.The national question became aggravated due to the struggle for popular sovereignty.They began to appear and the armed forces that control the behavior of the population.With the development of nationalist movements appeared increasingly serious clashes.As a result, they began to form so-called "ethnocratic state."They are the representatives of a nation are experiencing enormous difficulties in obtaining citizenship, and therefore forced to emigrate.

should not think that with the collapse of the Soviet Union self-diagnose and the national question.On the contrary, the situation is even more difficult.In some areas of strained relations between indigenous and non-indigenous residents were refugees.Great influence on the national question had federalization and disintegration in Russia, Kazakhstan and other countries.

notes the centralization of the economy.In such circumstances, the question inevitably arises about the fairness in the distribution of income of the nation.Thus, in almost every country formed a suspicion that she receives a lot less than giving.

As mentioned above, the national question - a problem concerning various spheres of society.At the same time one of the most important areas is the study of the processes and phenomena that reflect the spiritual development of the people - their traditions, language and culture.With the internationalization of the social and economic spheres of life of the spiritual component is a kind of repository of national identity, traditions and spirit.
