Modern society is a society formed as a result of numerous changes that occurred in the world at both global and national levels. It includes many ethnic entities organized into a complex ethnic and social structure. This article analyzes the practice of management of cross-national relations in Perm Krai with the aim of strengthening the interethnic harmony. Perm Krai, just like the whole Russian Federation, is characterized by polyethnicity. While some ethnic groups have been living and developing for a long time within Perm Krai, others regard the region as a temporary place of refuge. Constant complication of the national structure and interethnic relations requires an appropriate policy that can ensure the inter-ethnic harmony. The aim of the article is to study administrative practices for achieving the interethnic harmony at the regional level, since it is at the regional level that unique administrative decisions are being developed and implemented to resolve interethnic problems and prevent conflicts on national grounds. The Perm region has accumulated a wealth of experience in the area of development and harmonization of cross-national relations, which was highly appreciated at the all-Russian level. Management practices for implementing the tasks set out in the Strategy of the State National Policy in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, Perm Krai has developed six targeted programs for the development and harmonization of interethnic relations. This experience is of interest for specialists in the management of social and interethnic interaction, achievement of the inter-ethnic harmony in society.

Keywords: ethnos, Perm Krai, national relations, polyethnicity, interethnic interaction, harmonization of interethnic relations, management practices, target complex program.
