FROM THE HISTORY OF THE FORMATION OF THE KHAKAS PEOPLE'S NATIONAL STATEHOOD (TO THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KHAKASSIA)

This article examines the main stages of the formation of the Khakas people's statehood in the Soviet and post-Soviet times. It was emphasized that since 1917 self-determination of the ethnic group began. Khakassia has passed the way from the county - through the okrug - through the autonomous oblast - to the republic. The authors note that the proclamation of the Soviet statehood of the Khakas people in the form of an autonomous oblast was made possible thanks to the will of people and the participation of state and party bodies of the RSFSR in that process. The next significant stage in the formation of statehood in Khakassia was the formation of the Republic of Khakassia as a subject of the Russian Federation. The event led to the formation of new public authorities, which had a significant degree of political and economic independence.
