Abstract

The analysis of the main problems of the formation of the federal image of the USSR in the 1920-1930s is carried out. The specifics and essence of the relationship between the center and ethno-political elites, leaders of national-state units within the USSR and the RSFSR, which influenced the development and application of tools for managing the ethno-cultural diversity of a complex structured society, are characterized. Kyrgyzstan and Yakutia as components of the federal system of the RSFSR and the USSR allow us to determine the features of the formation and transformation of the statuses of the subjects of the federation, the most significant difficulties and contradictions of the transition of traditional communities to modernity within the framework of Soviet ethno-national policy
