State and Public Initiatives to Preserve Ethno-Cultural Diversity in the Transition Period 1990–2000 (Experience of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania)
The article is devoted to the policy of agricultural cooperation of the Soviet state in the ethnic environment of the Don and Kuban in the 1920s – during the period of the new economic policy, using the example of German and
Armenian farms.
Cooperation, which was a key component of the NEP in the village where the vast majority of the German and the main part of the Armenian population of Southern Russia lived, in addition to economic restructuring, created prerequisites for an aggravation of the class struggle and aimed to strengthen social differentiation in the ethnic environment.
In a dispersed ethnic environment, this policy had its own specifics. It was expressed in a lower rate and degree of involvement of ethnic communities in the processes of industrial cooperation and less social differentiation. The national districts and village councils created in the middle and second half of the 1920s in the South of Russia, designed to increase the level of trust and authority of the Soviet government in the ethnic environment, led to the politicization of ethnicity, the strengthening of the national factor as opposed to class consciousness.
Successes in the development of industrial cooperation were recorded in areas with a compact population of ethnic minorities, where poor households prevailed or there was a high percentage of refugees and displaced persons who needed mutual assistance. For example, in the Armenian and Vannovo national districts in the Kuban.
