Abstract
Aim. To study the evolution of the legislative framework of the Bashkir governance system in the Russian state in the pre-revolutionary period.
Methodology. The study of the formation of a management system for the Bashkir population within the Russian state required the use of a set of methods combining general scientific and sociohistorical approaches. The choice of methodology is conditioned by the need to analyze the legal framework, social processes and changes in the status of the Bashkir population.
Results. The pre-revolutionary experience of Bashkir membership, cooperation with Russians and other ethnic groups, further contributed to their successful development within the framework of Soviet autonomy and at the present time.
Research implications. The study of the management system of the Bashkir population allows us to better understand the mechanisms of integration of non-Russian peoples into the Russian state, to determine the specifics of administrative and legal campaigns for the management of ethnic groups. The study contributes to the discussion of «nomadic feudalism» and the nature of the subjugation of nomadic and semi-nomadic peoples. Studying the historical experience of the Russian state's interaction with different ethnic groups is useful for developing strategies for interethnic dialogue in modern Russia.
