The problem of regionalism is important for Ukraine, based primarily in view of the availability of certain differences between different regions of the country, in particular economic, historical, cultural, geopolitical and more. The article singled out the factors that influence the spatial self-organization of ethnic groups, and analyzed the phenomenon of social distance in the socio-political orientations of different ethnic groups. The existence of social distance among these groups indicates the presence and use of regional auto heterostereotypiv, especially in the activities of some political parties and public organizations, and the conflict between central and regional government institutions is a result of inconsistency and inefficiency ethnic policy. It is clear that the emergence of regionalism in Ukraine is some reflection of objective differences between the citizens of the country in economic, cultural and primarily manifested in the internal and external political orientations inherent to the population of certain regions. In this respect, we should mention the situation ethno-national state of ethnic relations in Crimea where tensions are the main hosts of Crimean Tatar problem and the problem of Russian majority population of the peninsula.
