Conclusions
The USSR had existed for three quarters of a century. For all that time, the ruling Communist elite conducted a policy of formation of a single political nation out of the extremely ethnically heterogeneous population of the country. This nation was called ‘Soviet people’, which was not a correct term from the point of view of modern science.
The Soviet nation was built based on the principles of internationalism, i.e. equality of all ethnic groups. To ensure such equality, during the Communist years most of those ethnic groups received their own state education: Soviet and autonomous republics, districts and at some point even regions and townships. As a part of the state education, those so-called main ethnic groups were able to develop their languages and culture freely, open schools and universities, have their own media and publish books, newspapers and magazines in their languages. Many ethnic groups received their written language for the first time. Ethnic groups that were not considered main also were present in the ethnic formation provided by the state. They had a lower social status and considerably less opportunities for their ethnic development.
