On March 31, the decree “On the Federal Agency for Nationalities Affairs” came into force, according to which a new structure is created; its tasks include the development and implementation of state national policy, the implementation of measures aimed at strengthening the unity of the multinational people of the Russian Federation (Russian nation), ensuring interethnic harmony, the ethnocultural development of peoples, protecting the rights of national minorities and indigenous peoples, and much more. The federal agency should take over some of the functions previously administered by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Justice. It will be engaged in the development and implementation of programs in the field of interethnic relations, monitoring the implementation of state national policy, preventing any forms of discrimination based on race, nationality, religion or language, and preventing attempts to incite hatred, hatred or enmity. Is such a structure necessary in the Russian federal authorities?
Dmitry Oreshkin, political scientist:
– It is naive to believe that problems of interethnic relations can be solved by creating an appropriate department. Already created, and more than once. Did you manage to solve at least one problem? No, not one. Departmental officials do not solve problems; at best, they sweep them under the rug. Create the appearance of a solution. Not because officials are stupid or incompetent - it is impossible in a large multinational state to solve such serious issues by creating specialized departments. A departmental official can write progress reports, but he cannot turn the river back. We need a completely different approach - real federalization of the country instead of fairy tales about federalism. We need to understand that territorial and national problems are key to the existence of Russia as a state. And from year to year we see an exacerbation of interethnic problems.
Sergey Markov, political scientist:
– The fact that the Agency for National Affairs was recreated is correct. And the important thing is that it was Barinov who was entrusted to head the agency. An officer who fought in Chechnya, was a State Duma deputy. Patriot. Look who dealt with the national issue before Barinov - they were all people from the North Caucasus. I have nothing against them, but in their positions they were exclusively concerned with protecting national minorities, forgetting about the majority. It is also important to protect minorities, but it is even more important to protect the interests of the Russian majority. Unfortunately, this is a real problem today – especially in national regions. The interests of nations and nationalities are protected by national diasporas, but Russians in Russia do not and cannot have a diaspora. And the Russians find themselves in a humiliated state. And the tension from dissatisfaction with their position among the Russian ethnic majority is spreading throughout the entire system of interethnic relations. I believe that Barinov will be able to turn the situation around.
Konstantin KRYLOV, editor-in-chief of the journal “Questions of Nationalism”:
– This will be another structure to protect the interests of national minorities, which are already well protected. Our state has been stubbornly fighting corruption for many years, but the result is just the opposite. It’s better not to let the state get involved in national affairs. The state must withdraw from the sphere of interethnic relations. But before leaving, it must equalize the rights of peoples - allow Russians to create national-cultural autonomies and so on. The government must deal with what we really have a lot of problems with - the economy, the social sphere, and so on.
Dmitry ORLOV, General Director of the Agency for Political and Economic Communications:
– The creation of the Federal Agency for National Affairs is a response to the obvious request to remove the conflict background. We are seeing everyday and more significant conflicts in a number of territories. Now the main task is to build a system to counter these conflicts, which is what the federal agency will do. The request matured quite a long time ago both within society and in bureaucratic structures - almost immediately after the liquidation of the Ministry of Nationalities. Our country is multinational, and there are ongoing problems related to ethnic violence. It is obvious that the migration department is not able to solve these problems.
