Some topical issues are highlighted that require study and reflection, taking into account the Soviet experience of federation building and comparison with other regions of the USSR, the contribution of the ethnopolitical elites of Central Asia and Kazakhstan to the construction of modern nations, and the nature of changes in the ethnosocial parameters of society.
