Abstract
The subject of this article is the analysis of the current state of interethnic relations in the Southern and North Caucasus Federal districts. A preliminary analysis revealed some unresolved conflicts with historical, political, economic and, in part, civilizational foundations. The implementation of the state national policy and the process of integration of ethnocultural diversity of the peoples of Russia within the framework of the Russian nation contributed to the reduction of conflict tension in these regions. However, due to the powerful influence, including foreign actors, some territories can in the future become not only hotbeds of tension, but also an open confrontation of the peoples inhabiting them. The state policy in the South of the Russian Federation takes into account aspects of the complex multicultural and multi-confessional mosaic of the region. First of all, it is aimed at countering the trends of extremism and radicalism. This study is devoted to the identification of the most problematic regions in the South of Russia.
