Tuzov, N.V. Political culture of Caucasus: from lack of balance to stability.

Abstract: It is well-known that stability in the Northern Caucasus region is key to the stability and security of the Russian Federation as a whole. The study of tendencies and processes in this region shows the importance of ethnical and religious factors. Taking the above-mentioned into the account, the problem of separatism in the Northern Caucasus republics should be solved through the reform of the system and removability of government, as well as broader representation of various groups in the government bodies.
