摘要：Interethnic relations and conflicts are an increasingly important feature of contemporary Russia. This is especially true in the North Caucasus where ongoing insecurity combined with a depressed economy has lead to growing Russian nationalism, xenophobia, and fears over immigration. In Stavropol’skii krai, the only ethnically Russian dominated territory in the North Caucasus Federal District, the situation is especially acute. Here, growing levels of inter-ethnic tension and violence indicate that ordinary citizens have their own understanding of interethnic relations, which stands in stark contrast to the “eternal interethnic peace” proclaimed by the authorities.
