Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the processes of delegitimization of the ethno-political statuses of ethnic minorities in the territory of the former USSR. The goal is to find out the complex factors that contributed to this process and to study the local manifestations of this situation. The article analyzes the phenomenon of the disintegration of the state, the Russian-Ossetian cultural and historical tradition, the policy of the union center, as well as the ethno-political status of South Ossetia in the conditions of post-Soviet Georgia. The authors also consider the processes of delegitimization of ethnopolitical status of minorities in the context of nation-building in post-Soviet states.
