What is meant by political autonomy given to non-russian nationality during civil war? |
|
Answer» According to the Constitution, the Russian Federation is divided into 85 federal subjects (CONSTITUENT units), 22 of which are "republics". Most of the republics represent areas of non-Russian ETHNICITY, although there are several republics with Russian MAJORITY. The indigenous ethnic group of a REPUBLIC that gives it its name is REFERRED to as the "titular nationality". Due to decades (in some cases centuries) of internal migration inside Russia, each nationality is not necessarily a majority of a republic's population. |
