Abstract: This article examines the structural level developments in the Russian nationalities policy, focusing on the (dis)similarities between the Yeltsin’s and Putin’s periods. Although Putin’s administration made certain interventions in the domain of nationalities policy, this approach cannot be compared with the Soviet time policy: recent developments cannot be interpreted as a new pro-assimilating policy. Finally, the authors examine the structural changes for the rise of latent nationalism using a structural equation modeling approach on a unique data set consisting of political and cultural nationalism indices for 21 Russian republics. These findings show that there is some consistency on the structural level of nationalities policy.
