Annotation

The article analyzes the complex of scientific studies of Elena Konstantinovna Mineeva, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor of I.N. Ulianov Chuvash State University who celebrated her jubilee in 2020. The relevance of studying the scientific creativity of the professor is determined not so much by the jubilee commemorative practices, but by the importance of the problems studied by her and the significant contribution of the scientist to the analysis of national policy problems of the Russian state.

In her works it is possible to distinguish a separate group of historiographic studies devoted to the analysis of the concepts of national and state building in the scientific heritage of domestic scientists. An important contribution has been made by the scientist to the development of theoretical issues in the sphere of federalism and interethnic relations, to the characterization of the peculiarities in asymmetric federation in our country. The article briefly describes the main conclusions of the scientist on the above-stated problems. In conclusion, the article states a significant contribution of E.K. Mineeva in the study of the national policy of the Russian state, the role of a professor in establishing his scientific school, her organizational activity in scientific journals functioning and conducting scientific events.
