National Associations as Actors of Social Management in Modern Russia (on the Example of the Republic of Bashkortostan)

In modern conditions, the issue of effective social management is crucial for Russia. Its important component is activities of national or ethnocultural associations. They are mediators between society and governments representing interests of various ethno-national groups. Contradictory conditions of globalization, complex and long-lasting modernization of Russia, weak civil identity make the issue of ethno-national associations a sensitive indicator of the Russian civil society. Under social instability, they represent a serious resource of ethnicity which allows them to be in demand in the multinational state. They are contradictory. It aggravates their position as influential actors of social management. On the one hand, they express and defend interests of their peoples; on the other hand, they are forced to adapt to aspirations of political elites or pursue ambitions of their own leaders. This dualism can cause a loss of the social base. The article analyzes activities of the most influential and numerous associations of Bashkortostan associations of the Russian, Bashkir and Tatar peoples. The documents and materials of national associations and survey results were used. The historical chronological method was used. For two decades, associations have gained experience which is understudied. This experience can contribute to effective state national policies and social management.
