The article presents preliminary results of a sociological survey on the subject " Ethnic factor in socio-political life of Russian regions: from ethnopolitical mobilization to civil integration (the Republics of Bashkortostan, Mari El, Mordovia, Udmurtia, Chuvashia)". This issue is an integral part of the Federal program of fundamental and applied scientific research on "Ethnocultural diversity of Russian society and strengthening of national identity" for the period 2020-2022. The survey was aimed at finding out the opinion of citizens on topical issues and problems of modern national policy at the level of a particular region concerning the all-Russian population census, peculiarities of different identities, interethnic relations in the country and the Republic, participation of citizens in ethnopolitical processes, migration and the acceptance of migrants by the local population. According to the preliminary results, active and motivated participation of citizens in the upcoming 2021 census is expected; positive trends are noted in the process of forming a political civil nation; the population's confidence in maintaining stability and non-conflict in the sphere of multinational relations in Udmurtia is recorded; the population recognizes the important role of national and cultural organizations; at the same time, there are concerns related to the possible mass arrival of foreigners to the region. The results of the study will be used to develop practical recommendations to various levels of government, public organizations, and discuss important socio-political issues in the development of civil society institutions.
