This assessment is based on the results of research and expert reports on demographic and ethnopolitical processes and governance in the North Caucasus Federal District. The authors of the article rely on the comprehensive use of various sources and methods, which allows for a deep and comprehensive understanding of the ethnic structure, its dynamics and features. The study suggests mechanisms formed on the basis of adopted regional programs for the harmonization of interethnic relations and state national policy, taking into account the specifics of the socio-economic and demographic development of the country.
