Abstract
In this article, the author asks the following questions: what is the role of an interethnic family in modern Russian society, which has entered a new stage of civilisation development that is characterised by the domination of ethnic markers in the formation of an identification matrix of various people of Russia? Is the interethnic family a peaceful and consenting loud-hailer in a society that has lost its culture of interethnic communication? Is it necessary for the interethnic family to ensure its safety for Russia to synthesise the cultures of the West and the East? The author attempts to answer these questions by examining the North Caucasus, which is the region with the most intensive interethnic interaction and interethnic intensity The findings concerning the interethnic family in the conditions of the ethnicisation of all social processes in this region and in Russia as a whole confirm the results of the author’s sociological research that was conducted in the Republic of Dagestan in 2012 — 2013. The author concludes that the increase of an ethnic factor in the lives of the people of the North Caucasus and the difficulties of the interethnic adaptation of ethnically mixed families in this region considerably reduce the status of such families in comparison with monoethnic families in the mass consciousness of the North Caucasian people, who are focused on the preservation of traditional activities and interactions.
