Summary/Abstract |
RUSSIA has historically evolved as a multiethnic and multireligious state. Having passed through complex social experiments and spiritual quests and explorations that deeply affected the foundations of human and social life, the citizens of the Russian Federation have emerged as a single, multiethnic people, as a Russian nation. And this despite the greatest tragedy of the late 20th century - namely, the disintegration of a single country, i.e., the Soviet Union, into several post-Soviet states, including historical Russia.
