The authors carry out analysis of the role of science and education in the processes of inter-regional and inter-ethnic integration in Russia. Their investigation demonstrates that intensive strengthening and broadening of scientific co-ordinated actions by means of new information technologies is a display of real integration of ethnoses in the person of representatives of national scientific intelligentsia; the integrating functions of education are stipulated by the fact that the latter is obligatory and accessible to every citizen of Russia independently of his or her ethnic origin. The authors draw to the conclusion that the system of education, as well as science and scientific association, as far as possible, are the factors keeping up and strengthening the processes of inter-ethnic unity, integration of the multinational Russian State.
