The levels of ethnic identity of the West Siberian Tatars
The article is devoted to studying the dynamics of ethnic identity of the West Siberian Tatars in the last third of the XX - the beginning of the XXI century. The author draws a conclusion about the existence of a multilevel system of ethnicons (Tatars, Siberian or Russian Tatars, different groups of local and alien Tatars), which makes it possible to speak about the existence of several levels of ethnic identity. However, during the period under study there has happened a considerable consolidation of self-designation and, therefore, the identity of the West Siberian Tatars. The majority of descendants of the alien Tatars consider themselves to be Siberians because Siberia is the territory of their birth and residence, which indicates their regional identity and integration into the community of Siberian Tatars.
