metadata.value: emerged in Russia, called upon to represent the interests of different ethnic groups. Many of
  them sought to become real political actors at the level of their regions, but only few were able
  to influence significantly local government and its decisions. This contributed to the crisis of ethnonational
  movements and organizations, which began as early as in the second half of the 1990s
  and caused a sharp fall in their public influence. Furthermore, many ethnopolitical associations
  actually ceased to exist. The article discusses the history of the formation of the three largest
  ethnopolitical associations of Russia — the Confederation of Peoples of the Caucasus (CPC), the
  Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East (RAIPON), the Association
  of Finno-Ugric Peoples (AFUP). It is indicated that the cooperation of ethnonational organizations
  and movements into broad associations had its own logic, which was associated with a
  limited political resource of regional organizations representing the interests of individual peoples,
  and with the need to strengthen the lobbying capabilities of ethnopolitical associations at both
  regional and national levels. It is shown that the three largest Russian ethnopolitical associations
  arose on different cultural foundations: linguistic, cultural-economic, regional, but they all sought
  to develop into some kind of alternative or parallel institutions of political representation. However,
  ethnic associations did not succeed in becoming an influential political force and only RAIPON has
  a certain political weight, since it has initially chosen the tactics of a partnership with the legitimate
  authorities in the Center and in the Regions. In the North Caucasus, the failure of the ethnic
  leaders to provide a real alternative to the Islamic idea and local political elites became the reason
  for the failure. As for the AFUP, the failure is connected to the obvious attempt of its ideologists
  to juxtapose ethnicity and citizenship and to the very decorative nature of the organization, which
  was originally organized as a political tribune, and not as an organization of action. But all three of
  these organizations are experiencing serious difficulties in their development, and their continued
  existence as independent political actors is possible only if their lobbying capabilities and public
  importance are enhanced.
