The state of interethnic relations in the Sverdlovsk region in 2024 (according to a sociological survey in May-September 2024)

Within the framework of the article, the authors, having formulated interethnic interaction in a complexly organized Russian society as an object of research, and the subject – the state of interethnic relations in the Sverdlovsk region in the context of the transformation of the geopolitical architecture, explore the state of interethnic relations through the prism of a number of indicators reflecting a range of internal and external attitudes, reflecting objective, and in some cases, subjective and stereotypical perception socio-political and ethnic reality. The list of indicators used includes tracking political and socio-economic news, assessing changes in the political and economic spheres of society in the context of a significantly changed geopolitical architecture, as well as prospects for strengthening ties with Asian countries. A separate block of indicators used reflects the degree of formation of the all-Russian civic identity, the degree of positive perception of the ethnic diversity of Russian society, as well as the level and degree of xenophobic sentiments towards other nationalities, including those who arrived in the territory of the Sverdlovsk region as migrant workers or students. The authors note that more than half of the respondents stand on the positions of intolerance and xenophobia, which is the basis for improving the methods of internal state policy, as well as strengthening preventive measures aimed at preventing the emergence of interethnic conflicts. Against this background, the results of the study record a high proportion of those who note the need to preserve traditional spiritual and moral values.
