Abstract. The article opens the issue dedicated to the ethnosocial problems of the city. Its authors – the compiler and scientific editor of the issue and the editor-in-chief of Historical Ethnology – substantiate an approach to the topic in relation to the ideology of the journal. It is intended to present manifestations of ethnicity in urban settlements in the broad context of the economic, political, social, historical and cultural processes which occur in them. The sections offered to readers reflect this aim and focus on the following aspects: identifying the directions for studying cities, as laid down in the works of ethnosociology classics; the issues of state national policy as applied to them and the influence of various social factors on interethnic engagement; the topic of urban identity in its relationship with ethnic, regional and all-Russian identities, as well as in the context of the impact on the migration mobility of the population; urban ethno-confessional, linguistic and cultural practices that reflect socio-political and economic changes in the post-Soviet space. A brief overview of the articles presents their main ideas and the perspective chosen by each author on the topic. It is concluded that revealing the dialectical relationship between historical, political, economic and ethnosocial development opens up prospects for further research of the city as a social community.
