EFFECTS OF ETHNOCULTURAL ISOLATION DURING PANDEMIC PERIOD

Abstract

Ethnocultural isolation as a result of measures to overcome the pandemic has actualized old and generated new contradictions associated with the ethnocultural diversity of the world community. Its consequences were already apparent in the first stages of the fight against coronavirus infection. Overcoming these and tracking potential consequences is an important task for the whole society today. Representatives of different fields of knowledge are actively studying ethnocultural and other problems that require a timely response. Strengthening of interracial and interethnic contradictions, destabilization of the economy and increasing property inequality, ideological crisis, separatist tendencies are noted. To return to ethno-cultural integration as a source of consolidation and cooperation of a multi-ethnic society, it is necessary to jointly overcome the existing and potential consequences of ethnocultural isolation in the process of combating the pandemic.
