Sumario:The paper considers the problems that arose during the implementation of the multiculturalism policy in countries situated in Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand with a multinational population. Multiculturalism is becoming the basis of state policy, as it integrates and adapts the minority and majority into a single community while emphasizing and preserving ethnic, linguistic, and confessional identity. The authors identify four key socio-political cases of multiculturalism: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Scandinavian Peninsula, which reflect the modern results of the multiculturalism policy. The paper notes that the policy of multiculturalism of these countries consolidates concerning the "indigenous peoples" the official status of the ethnic minority and the language of indigenous peoples within the framework of the main state legislative acts. It is concluded that their models of multicultural development are the most appropriate for multinational Russian states.
