The number of Mari and Udmurts increases, but only by 3.5−4.
5%.The unique subject of the national composition of the population is Moscow. A s of January 1, 1997, representatives of more than 130 nations and nationalities lived in it, including 8 million Russians, 253,000 Ukrainians, 175,000 Jews, 157,000 Tatars, and others. In Moscow, there was a congestion of refugees and internally displaced persons. I n addition, there is no accurate accounting for the huge group of people of different nationalities who come to Moscow in search of earnings for a while or even permanently from the countries of the near abroad. A.
pproximate number of such persons in Moscow and the Moscow Region is about one million or more (but their number is also constantly increasing). D ue to this category, the national composition of the population of the MSR has significantly changed. A lthough representatives of all the republics of the former USSR come here, the natives from the southern, eastern and south-eastern regions are predominant. State policy is designed to become more national-regional, taking into account the specifics of the North Caucasus, the Volga region, Siberia and the Far East. O.
nly such a policy is able to provide a relatively painless transition from a unitary state, such as the Soviet Union, to a federal one, as the new Russia seeks to become. S trengthening the independence of regions that do not oppose the Center but cooperate with it, leads to the priority of national values, brings closer the realization of the nationwide task of reviving a great and powerful power with democratic order and a socially-oriented economy. A convincing example of the consolidated region is the association «Siberian Agreement», which unites 19 Siberian regions and national centers from Tyumen to Chita. O n this vast land live more than 16 million people, it has the richest natural resources, there is a developed industry and many scientific institutions. All this will give an opportunity not only to properly assess the current situation, but also to foresee its development in many ways, and thus to prevent interethnic frictions and conflicts.
