Two interrelated paradigms of the political design of Russia’s regional diversity are to trace - territorial and ethno-national. They have become not only options for state registration of a space diversified by political, economic and ethno-cultural grounds, but also the subject of ideological battles, including assessments and the degree of preference of management strategies and political priorities. In the political and institutional context, the regional dimension of Russia implies an emphasis on the correlation of particular features and universalizing intentions. Such a ratio of the general and the special is included in the subject pool associated with understanding and ensuring the completeness of Russia’s sovereignty.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Редакция представляет номер, посвященный анализу политики в регионах России. Прослеживаются две взаимосвязанные парадигмы политического оформления регионального разнообразия России - территориальная и этнонациональная. Они стали не только вариантами государственного оформления диверсифированного по политическим, экономическим и этнокультурным основаниям пространства, но и предметом идейных баталий, включая оценки и степень предпочтительности управленческих стратегий и политических приоритетов. В политико-институциональном ключе региональное измерение России предполагает акцент на соотношении партикулярных особенностей и универсализирующих интенций. Подобное соотношение общего и особенного включается в предметный пул, связанный с осмыслением и обеспечением полноты суверенитета России.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>regions of Russia</kwd><kwd>politics</kwd><kwd>identity</kwd><kwd>all-Russian identity</kwd><kwd>Russian civilization</kwd><kwd>diversity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>регионы России</kwd><kwd>политика</kwd><kwd>идентичность</kwd><kwd>общероссийская идентичность</kwd><kwd>российская цивилизация</kwd><kwd>разнообразие</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена в рамках проекта ЭИСИ и Минобрнауки РФ № FSSF2022-0040 «Российская идентичность: политические смыслы и индикаторы ценностной консолидации».</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">The article was prepared as part of the Social Research Expert Institute (EISI) and Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation project № FSSF2022-0040 «Russian Identity: Political Meanings and Indicators of Value Consolidation»</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Gorshkov, M.K., Komissarov, S.N., &amp; Karpukhin, O.I.
