Socio and political orientations and inter-ethnic consent in the modern dagestan society

Social and political attitudes characteristic of mass consciousness greatly influence the formation of interethnic harmony. Empirical data show the dominance of the statement about the inadmissibility of the use of violence in solving ethnic problems, although a significant proportion of respondents allow the use of violent actions in a situation of violation of the principles of justice for their people in different social spheres. The prevalence of the position in the mass consciousness characterizing the relations of the peoples of Dagestan as a desire to unite into a single, strong Dagestan nation is an evidence of positive changes taking place in the republic and having the potential for forming interethnic harmony. The principles of internationalism and friendship of peoples developed in the socialist period play a significant role in interethnic and interreligious tolerance formation in the mass consciousness of the Dagestan peoples. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account that the formation of inter-ethnic harmony in Dagestan has a long history due to its multi-ethnic and multi-religious nature. It has been established that the presence of intolerance in the Dagestani’s public consciousness, to one degree or another, is not at all the basis for the emergence of inter-ethnic confrontation and open ethnic conflict, although there is a ground for this, in particular, the unresolved issue of the territorial rehabilitation of the Chechen-Akkintsians, the problem of the ethnopolitical status of small Dagestan peoples, land reform, personnel issues, which together can destabilize the modern Dagestan society.
