In total, during 13 visits, 11 regions with a high probability of interethnic conflicts were surveyed, 582 interviews with representatives of ethnic groups were organized. In addition, special monitoring trips were organized to areas with a high level of conflict potential as villages Shornak, Kaskabulak and Korday district.
