AB  - Considering the multiethnic composition of Russia and due to local and global changes in the modern
ethno-political and ethno-social situation, the problem of regulation of interethnic relations is relevant and
important both from scientific and practical point of view. National policy is a special sphere of state
regulationwhich, on the one hand, requires the understanding of the nature and mechanisms of ethnic
processes and on the other hand, possesses the integrative character, since its implementation is carried out
in different areas of society-economic, political, social and cultural ones. The study analyzes the transitional
period in the national policy that is related to the change of the national state system model from imperial
unitary one, expressed in the formula "united and indivisible Russia" to the Soviet-based federalism. The
analysis of these models shows that in the framework of the Russian Empire there existed mechanisms of
realization of the interests of the peoples living in it while "Soviet federalism" was a fairly conventional design.
