The Important Factor of Political Stability

Author(s)
L.V. Kalmina
Abstract
The article under review was written by famous Siberian scientist professor L. M. Dameshek and devoted to the ethnic factor aspect in the frontier policy of Russian Empire in connection with Siberia. It is stated that the author in Siberian region integration into imperial area distinguishes two stages: initial regionalism providing for managerial models diversity over newly acquired territories and severe centralism assuming unification and standardization of management. The scientist compares similar processes in other frontier territories for defining common tendencies and regional peculiarities of different peoples’ inclusion into business life and social-cultural area of Russia, comparativism ideology having been professed. The attention is paid to the controversial problem of Russian status as a colonial power. The researcher sticks to the point of view that Siberia was not European Russia’s colony in reality because indigenous peoples were integrated into all-Russian system of economic and cultural relations.
