All these lessons show the narrowness of the principle of proportional representation of the small and numerically dominant majority peoples in polyethnic republics. They also testify to the necessity of changing the relationship between the minorities and republican authority bodies. The elaboration of optimum conditions of interaction of the aboriginal minorities with republican authority bodies is a very topical problem for different republics, territories and regions of Northern Caucasus. All Russian Federation subjects in the given region are polyethnic with stripe patterns of settlement that make administrative repartition of republics essentially impossible. The majority of the Northern Caucasus nations are those with traditional development strongly connecting people and land.
Territory provides for the preservation of culture, spiritual values and even physical being.
At the same time, there is no Northern Caucasus republic where the rights of the people are supplied at a legal level. This is due to a conscious attempt to disregard the law giving jurisdiction to ethnic representatives. The proper implantation of the Convention about Aboriginal Peoples and Nations Conducting Tribe Lifestyle in Independent Countries requires scientific monitoring of its realization in order to ensure this necessary aspect of socio-economic and cultural development of minorities.
