The history of political processes in the Russian Empire, the formation of the Soviet statehood, its subsequent collapse, the events taking place in modern Russia, are difficult to consider in isolation from the interests of various national and ethnic communities that made up the state in different periods of its existence. Emil Pain's book is devoted to the problems of ethno-political science and summarizes more than forty years of research and observations of its author. The first part (“Theory”) is devoted to debatable questions about the essence of ethnic and national phenomena in their connection with political factors. The author offers his own interpretation of well-known approaches to the study of ethnicity and nation, as well as his own theoretical concepts, in particular, such as the "imperial syndrome". The second part of the book (“History”) presents an analysis of the radical fluctuations in ethno-national policy in the USSR and in modern Russia from the standpoint of the author's theory of the “ethno-political pendulum”. The third part (“Practice”) analyzes the key concepts of ethno-political management in multi-ethnic societies and proposes some adjustments to modern Russian national policy in the light of the cultural diversity management paradigm. Emil Abramovich Pain is a doctor of political sciences, a professor at the National Research University Higher School of Economics and a former adviser to the President of Russia on national policy (1996–1999).
