“…Based on the last census (all-Russian Population Census, 2010), we calculate the share of each ethnic group in each of 25 regions which is the probability that a randomly chosen person is of a certain ethnicity: is the population size of the ith ethnic group in Russia. Then, we square that probability to describe the probability that two persons, drawn at random, will be from that particular ethnic group (Riazantsev et. al., 2013).…”

DOES ETHNIC DIVERSITY AFFECT SOCIAL CAPITAL IN THE RUSSIAN CONTEXT? 4The research considers the impact of ethnic diversity on social capital in the Russian context. The theoretical study is based on Putnam's hypothesis related to the impact of ethnic diversity on social capital. The empirical basis of a representative survey was compiled in two multicultural regions of Russia (N = 2061). To assess the level of ethnic diversity an Ethnic Diversity Index (EDI) was calculated based on the results of the latest National Population Census. Data were processed using two-level structural equitation modelling. The results showed that ethnic diversity did not affect adversely the social capital of Russia, as assumed in Putnam's hypothesis. In particular, Russia's ethnic diversity positively influences ethnic tolerance and informal sociability and does not affect social trust and community organizational life. The article also suggests reasons for these results.JEL Classification: D85, Z13
