Abstract
The problems of interethnic relations today are of interest to not only ethnologists, anthropologists, but also political scientists, teachers, psychologists, culturologists who study both the specifics and characteristics of various ethnic groups and the problems of interethnic interaction, leveling situations of interethnic misunderstanding and tension in relations. If we are talking about the ethnic component of the communication process, then we mean, first, the relationship between ethnic groups, which can be positive, negative or indifferent.
