Main directions and problems in the activities of public organizations of ethnic diasporas of the Ka-bardino-Balkarian Republic (based on the results of an expert survey)

Abstract

According to the majority of experts, the majority of public organizations of the KBR diasporas are involved in preserving their ethnic cultures and take part in the cultural events of the republic. The activities of public organizations of the KBR diasporas contribute to the preservation of their ethnic cultures: ethnic self-awareness, native languages, folk customs and traditions, as well as strengthening friendship with other peoples of the republic. According to the majority of experts, their organizations should intensify teaching children their native languages, holding ethnic holidays, developing ties with the ethnic/historical homeland and brethren living in other regions of Russia and other countries, as well as participating in cultural events of the republic.Among the problems that are most actual in the activities of public organizations of the KBR ethnic diasporas, all experts indicated the problem of financing and the problem of attracting young people to participate in the events of organizations. Among the problems in the republic that are of greatest concern to representatives of ethnic diasporas, the experts recorded economic and environmental problems, as well as interethnic and interfaith relations. At the same time, most experts from all public organizations believe that their diasporas do not experience any difficulties in communicating with representatives of other peoples of the KBR. This indicates that the numerically dominant peoples of the KBR, and especially the titular ones, show a high level of tolerance towards ethnic diasporas
