metadata.value: The article considers the early experience of ethno-confessional policy towards Yakuts (1632–1769). The
  author first reviewed features of this policy and the stages of its development. Based on the theory of
  multiculturalism, a thesis about the nature of the administration of paternalistic management in Yakutia
  has been developed. The incipient conflict was resolved in a timely manner by a weakening of the yasak
  régime and in agreements with representatives of Yakutia’s élites, namely chiefs, that gave them authority
  over the administration of their lands. Government at a very early time understood the importance of
  cultural dialogue with the peoples included in the composition of the Russian state and took steps towards
  the initiation to the all-Russian cultural values in particular by spreading education among them.
  The article discusses features of ethno-confessional policy of the Moscow government in Yakutia
  in the 17th century: the relationship between the state and the elite of the Yakut society, the further
  development of the yasak administrative system, and some ethno-cultural features of that policy in
  relation to the Yakuts. The author has traced specific facts illustrating how the crisis that occurred in
  the conduct of this policy was orvercome, particularly in the period of Petrine reforms. For the first
  time attention is drawn to the “project” of conflict resolution over the period of the mid-18th century
  as an effective means of ethno-confessional policy. Projects to improve the management of Yakuts,
  tribute collection, public service obligations were established by officials, exiled courtiers, and Yakut
  chiefs. The information contained in these ideas had accumulated and specific laws had developed.
  In conclusion, the author identified the most important features of the early period of ethnoconfessional
  policy of the Russian state in Yakutia: flexible forms of administrative-territorial, noninterference
  in the domestic life of Yakuts, involvement of the local elite in public administration,
  willingness to resolve conflicts through peaceful means where military methods were ineffective, and
  toleration. Refs 35.
