The interaction of the Ministry of nationalities and public projects of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic with the national cultural associations of the republic as part of the implementation of the state national policy of the Russian Federation

The article examines the influence of national and cultural associations of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic on the social and political situation in the country, which largely depends on their cooperation with government and local government bodies. It is noted that in the case of well-established and coordinated interaction between government agencies and civil society institutions, it is possible to prevent the manifestation of ethnic intolerance and conflict potential. Examples of the main areas in which government and local government bodies of the republic interact with national and cultural associations are given. The key tasks facing national and cultural associations are highlighted, including: collecting and systematizing the interests of the represented ethnocultural communities; representing these interests in government and local government bodies; participating in the development of solutions aimed at meeting these needs. In the course of the study, a number of key areas were identified in which the Ministry of Nationalities and Public Projects of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic interacts with national and cultural associations. The author concludes that this kind of close interaction has a powerful anti-conflict potential, promotes the strengthening of civic activism and interethnic harmony, and improves the quality of social services provided by the state to society.
