Abstract
The article analyzes the rulemaking and administrative work of government institutions from the point of regulatory impact on public life in the regional dimension. When systematizing the process of creating various models of autonomous governance, the imperial essence of Russia is identified by the formula “essentially monarchical power – regional non-sovereign entities – supra-ethnic composition of the population”. The article examines the accounting and possible consolidation of the classical principles of public administration: administrative, national and state structuring and convergent institutionalization of power relations in relation to a particular region. It argues that the meaning of the imperial factor lies in the diversity of socio-political traditions of the diverse national and ethnic composition of the population of Russia, which became a result of the development of a complex centralized state. Concerning the Central Asian territories, the idea of power relations in the empire in practice transformed into the interaction of various groups of its population against the background of the non-definiteness of the processes of formation of national identities. The article concludes by arguing that considering the regional-appointee (namestnichestvo) model of national-regional governance of Russia, the traditional state-legal existence as a condition for its sustainable functioning and transformation was provided by a certain set of political and legal measures as promising lines of ethnopolitics.
