“…41 It has also been argued that ethnicity has played a role in Russian electoral politics, as United Russia has relied on the support of ethnic regions, including (but not only-White 2016 ) through electoral manipulation (Goodnow et al . 2014 ), although results have been in uenced by regional contextual characteristics (White 2015 These respondents did not refer to a possible nexus between the promotion of a minority culture and the formulation of policies conducive to it through an inclusive process.
