The ethnic nature of the constitution of the national republics of the Russian Federation suggests that, to some extent, they are characterized by the institutionalization of ethnicity, which manifests itself at the normative level, in particular, in the structure of government bodies, their representation in public space, in the distribution of political and administrative positions based on ethnicity (power-sharing). Institutionalization of ethnicity occurs not only at the republican level, but also in the authorities of the capital cities of the ethnic republics. In relation to the structure of government bodies and their representation, it is expressed here to a lesser extent, however, the position of the mayor of the capital city plays a significant role in the informal institutionalization of the distribution of political and administrative positions along ethnic lines.
