К историографии проблемы становления национальных общественных объединений в Кемеровской области (1993 – 2005 гг.)

The article discusses the issues of historiography of problems of national public associations, at the initial stage of their formation in the Kemerovo region. The methodological basis for studying the activities of national organizations is the principles of a systematic approach. National public associations can be viewed as functional social systems that have the internal logic of their hierarchically subordinate bodies. Structural and functional analysis can be used to identify the internal structure and main functions of ethnic associations. Through comparative analysis it is possible to identify and systematize information about their current work. In particular, on the basis of the materials identified by the regional press and other sources, it is possible to compare the declarative functions of associations and the forms of their daily activity, and also to compare their goals with the course of the state regional national policy. In the period of formation of regional public associations representing the interests of ethnic groups living in Kuzbass, scientific research does not cover the whole range of existing problems in their activities (in particular, they include the formation of local and federal legislative framework for the functioning of national societies). It is noted that in the works devoted to the study of ethnic and social processes, the question of the role of national organizations is hardly touched upon. The problems of forming the organizational structure of national public associations, as well as the nature of the reflection of their activities in the media, have not been studied enough.
