Abstract

The article offers the results of research on social justice as a principle of regulation of interethnic interactions and the basis of social integration in the republics of Russia. An important position of the interview and discussion was the identification of embedding justice in the value series of understanding the world order in traditional or liberal concepts. Events of the 90s of the twentieth century in the multiethnic republics of Russia demonstrated a desire to approve the collective right of the people as the highest value, while at the level of the federal government a liberal concept was approved, which interpreted justice as ensuring equal conditions for the realization of the rights of each individual. The achieved stability of the political system of Russia makes it possible to analyze the current state of interethnic and ethnopolitical relations in various regions through the prism of the found forms of organizing life, created to assert justice. The proposed analysis focuses on the case of the Kalmyk people and the Republic of Kalmykia.
