ETHNO-CULTURAL PROJECTS IN THE REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (ACCORDING TO THE ANNUAL FUNDAMENTALS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION – 2013–2019): GENERAL TRENDS, EFFECT FROM REALIZATION AND PERSPECTIVES OF DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

According to the Ministry of Culture of Russia, there are 196 ethnic cultures in the Russian Federation. Every year, basic information about the development of domestic culture is presented to the public in a document prepared by the Ministry of Culture of Russia – «State Report on the State of Culture in the Russian Federation». It comprises sections varying in theme and content, summarizing the data of the cultural departments of the constituent entities of the Federation, including the main results of work with ethno-cultural subjects. According to the content and volume of the information presented one may judge about the priority for a given federal government for directions of work in culture, as well as the degree of success in solving the problems of intercultural communication and formation of tolerance in a multicultural state or about their understatement. We have analyzed in which of the historically multicultural regions (or monocultural, but with migrants living) ethnocultural projects are being developed (including museum, educational, entertainment, supporting diasporas or small nations, economic ones – traditional production, etc.). The dynamics of reflection and the characteristics of the representation of these projects at the federal level and those developed by region in the State Reports on the state of culture in 2013–2019 are compared.
