Valeev, H. A. Federalism and Civil Service in the Context of Political and Legal Transformations during post-Soviet period

Abstract: Even though constituents of the federation keep their ‘historical’ names, it is necessary to note that all ethnic communities including ‘title communities’ have equal rights on their territory. This is the requirement if we want to make political, economic, social and cultural development of an ethnic community to be independent from a state or municipal offi cer as well as from the territory where the community lives (republic, region or oblast). Such position would eliminate both national dependency and certain fears a nation might feel because of living in the ‘ foreign’ territory.
