AT GC amendments have been made, according to which a new type of non-profit organizations - the community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation - has received legislative consolidation.

Art. 69 The Constitution of the Russian Federation established that the Russian Federation guarantees the rights of indigenous peoples in accordance with the generally recognized principles and norms of international law and international agreements.

For the first time, such a variety of non-profit organizations was mentioned in the Law on Non-Profit Organizations. Yes, in paragraph 4 of Art. 6.1 The Law on Non-Commercial Organizations states that the specifics of the legal status of communities of small peoples, their creation, reorganization and liquidation, management of communities of small peoples are determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation on communities of small peoples.

In the development of these provisions Constitution RF and law The following legal acts have been adopted on non-profit organizations: the federal law dated April 30, 1999 N 82-FZ "On guarantees of the rights of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation", the federal law dated July 20, 2000 N 104-FZ "On the general principles of organizing communities of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation", the federal law dated May 7, 2001 N 49-FZ "On the territories of traditional nature management of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation". At the same time, it is fundamental the federal law dated April 30, 1999 N 82-FZ, in which the guarantees of the rights of indigenous peoples are set out most fully.

The need for a special legal status for the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation is primarily due to the fact that such peoples, in addition to being small in number, live in extreme climatic conditions that have a negative impact on the human body. The labor activity of these peoples in the traditional and practically the only possible areas of economic activity for them is significantly and constantly hampered by the reduction of the natural resources at their disposal and being the source of their existence. The impact of such negative factors can lead to their complete extinction. In this regard, it is necessary to adopt special legal acts providing for additional measures of their legal protection.

According to Art. 123.16 The Civil Code of Indigenous Peoples of the Russian Federation recognizes voluntary associations of citizens belonging to the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation and united on the basis of consanguinity and (or) territorial-neighborhood in order to protect the original habitat, preserve and develop traditional ways of life, management, crafts and culture .

The founders of communities of small peoples can only be persons belonging to small peoples who have reached the age of 18 years. The number of founders cannot be less than three.

Foreign citizens and stateless persons cannot be founders of communities of small peoples.

Legal entities cannot be founders.

Bodies of state power of the Russian Federation, bodies of state power of subjects of the Russian Federation, bodies of local self-government, their officials cannot be founders of communities of small peoples.

Members of a community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation have the right to receive part of its property or compensation for the value of such a part upon leaving the community or its liquidation in the manner prescribed by law.

A community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation, by decision of its members, may be transformed into an association (union) or an autonomous non-profit organization.

In turn, the definition of indigenous peoples is given in Art. one Federal Law of April 30, 1999 N 82-FZ "On Guarantees of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of the Russian Federation", according to which the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation are peoples living in the territories of traditional settlement of their ancestors, preserving their traditional way of life, economic management and crafts, numbering less than 50 thousand people in the Russian Federation and realizing themselves as independent ethnic communities.

The Unified List of Indigenous Peoples of the Russian Federation is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation on the proposal of the state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in whose territories these peoples live ( Decree Government of the Russian Federation of March 24, 2000 N 255 established such Scroll).

Members of the community have the right to receive a part of its property or compensation for the value of such a part when they leave the community of small peoples or when it is liquidated. The procedure for determining a part of the property of a community of small peoples or compensation for the cost is established by law.

The communities of the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation recognize forms of self-organization of persons belonging to the indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation and united according to consanguinity (family, clan) and (or) territorial-neighborly principles, in order to protect their original habitat, preserve and develop traditional ways of life , management, crafts and culture.

Indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation are peoples living in the regions of the North, Siberia and the Far East in the territories of the traditional settlement of their ancestors, preserving their traditional way of life, economic activities and crafts, numbering less than 50 thousand people and recognizing themselves as independent ethnic communities;

Communities of small-numbered peoples are forms of self-organization of persons belonging to small-numbered peoples and united by consanguinity (family, clan) and (or) territorial-neighborly characteristics, created in order to protect their original habitat, preserve and develop traditional ways of life, management, crafts and culture.

Communities of small peoples are of two types:

• 1. family (tribal) communities of small peoples are forms of self-organization of persons belonging to small peoples, united on the basis of consanguinity, leading a traditional way of life, carrying out traditional economic activities and engaged in traditional crafts;
• 2. Territorial-neighboring communities of small peoples are forms of self-organization of persons belonging to small peoples, permanently residing in the territories of traditional settlement of small peoples, leading a traditional way of life, carrying out traditional economic activities and engaged in traditional crafts.

At least 3 citizens of the Russian Federation who belong to small peoples and have reached the age of 18 can act as founders of communities of small peoples. Legal entities cannot be founders. Bodies of state power of the Russian Federation, bodies of state power of subjects of the Russian Federation, bodies of local self-government, their officials cannot be founders of communities of small peoples.

The constituent documents of the community of small peoples are the founding agreement and the charter.

The created community of small peoples is subject to mandatory state registration. After state registration, a community of small peoples acquires the rights of a legal entity.

Membership in a community of small peoples can be collective (membership of families (kinds)) and individual (membership of persons belonging to small peoples).

The supreme governing body of the community of small peoples is the general meeting (gathering) of members of the community of small peoples. The general meeting (gathering) of members of the community of small peoples is convened as necessary, the frequency of its holding is determined by the charter.

The management body of the community of small peoples is the board (council) of the community of small peoples. The board (council) of the community of small peoples is elected as part of the chairman of the board (council) of the community and other members of the board (council) of the community at a general meeting (gathering) of members of the community of small peoples by a simple majority of votes.

In the property of a community of small peoples may be:

• 1. property transferred by members of the community as a contribution (contribution) in the organization of the community;
• 2. financial resources belonging to the community (own and borrowed);
• 3. voluntary donations of individuals and legal entities, including foreign ones;
• 4. other property acquired or received by the community in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Communities of small peoples, with the consent of the members of the community, have the right to sell the products of labor produced by its members.

Federal Law No. 104-FZ of July 20, 2000
"On the general principles of organizing communities of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation"

With changes and additions from:

This Federal Law establishes the general principles for the organization and activities of communities of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation, created in order to protect the original habitat, traditional way of life, rights and legitimate interests of these indigenous peoples, and also determines the legal basis for the community form self-government and state guarantees for its implementation.

President of Russian Federation

Moscow Kremlin

The law regulates relations in the field of organization, activity, reorganization and liquidation of communities of small peoples created in order to protect the original habitat, traditional way of life, rights and legitimate interests of these indigenous peoples. The legal foundations of the communal form of self-government and state guarantees for its implementation are determined. The Law applies to all communities of indigenous peoples, including those created before its entry into force, as well as to unions (associations) of communities of indigenous peoples.

State authorities of the Russian Federation, state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments can provide assistance to communities of small peoples and their unions (associations) in the form of tax benefits and benefits, targeted funding, targeted training of personnel in professions necessary for communities of small peoples, etc. In places of compact residence of small-numbered peoples, local self-government bodies, at the proposal of communities of small-numbered peoples or their unions (associations), may vest them with separate powers of local self-government bodies.

Issues affecting the interests of communities of small peoples are resolved by state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation and local governments, taking into account the opinions of communities of small peoples. At the same time, state authorities and local self-government bodies are not entitled to interfere in the activities of communities of small peoples or their unions (associations), except as otherwise provided by law.

It's no secret that Russia is a multinational state with more than 100 nationalities. Each nation has its own traditions and culture, which are protected at the state level.

However, some peoples are so small that their very existence is threatened. And therefore the state introduces various mechanisms that help to preserve the authenticity of small peoples.

The concept of the community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation

One of the duties of the state is to protect all citizens who live on its territory. Considering the fact that in Russia there are a huge number of nationalities with a variety of cultural and linguistic traditions, the state protects the authenticity of the peoples of Russia and contributes to the development of their self-consciousness.

As statistics show, about 40 nationalities live in Russia, the number of which hardly exceeds 30 thousand people. The protection of such small peoples is the main milestone of state policy. That is why in 1990 the public organization "Association of Indigenous Peoples of the Russian Federation" was organized.

The concept of a community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation is often mentioned in regulatory documents.

In fact, these are non-profit public organizations that deal with human rights issues and are official representatives of the small nations that live in our country.

Thanks to this structure, indigenous peoples have the opportunity to adhere to their traditional way of life, in every possible way to develop and increase their cultural characteristics.

Territorially small indigenous peoples are concentrated in the northern part of the country, Siberia and the Far East. After the number of indigenous peoples declined sharply in the Soviet years, the state took up their protection.

Most of the representatives of these nationalities live within the areas of compact residence and are engaged in traditional crafts.

Article 69 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation provides that the rights of indigenous peoples with a small number of representatives are observed in full. Many normative acts that regulate the policy of the state in relation to citizens are devoted to the protection of small nationalities.

Indigenous communities are social structures that do not aim at making a profit, and exist on charitable contributions, voluntary donations from citizens and state financial support.

Signs and types of the community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation

The indigenous peoples of Russia are classified depending on the language group, and the number of representatives.

In general, among the indigenous peoples, the following main groups are distinguished:

• Peoples of Northern Russia;
• Far Eastern peoples;
• Altai peoples;
• West and East Siberian authentic communities.

Indigenous peoples live in their traditional places of congregation. The state guarantees them a certain degree of autonomy and the ability to maintain the foundations of life that are special to them. In addition, small nationalities are engaged in traditional activities (fishing, animal husbandry, agriculture).

In accordance with the current legislative regulations, all ethnic groups, the number of representatives of which does not exceed 40 thousand people, are classified as indigenous peoples. At the same time, it should be noted that the indigenous peoples are unevenly distributed over the territory of Siberia and the Far East.

Territory and original habitat, places of traditional residence and economic activity of small peoples

The territories where small nationalities are traditionally settled are officially approved by the Government of Russia. At the same time, the state guarantees that the indigenous representatives of small nations will have the full opportunity to lead a cultural life and engage in those activities that are considered traditional for them.

In particular, the list of traditional occupations for small peoples includes:

• Nomadic livestock breeding (breeding of deer, yaks and horses) and processing of livestock products;
• Hunting for fur-bearing animals and making fur products;
• Crop production, in particular agriculture, cultivation of agricultural crops, medicinal plants and berries;
• Gathering (harvesting, processing and sale of products of forest origin);
• Folk crafts and arts and crafts (embroidery, weaving from herbs and leather, processing of fur, bones and other materials).

As statistics show, a significant majority of the indigenous population of Siberia and the Far East traditionally settle in those places where their ancestors previously lived. Therefore, on the map of the country you can find entire settlements in which the vast majority of the population belongs to indigenous peoples.

Establishment of a community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation

In accordance with the current legislation, a community that unites small nations and sets itself the goal of protecting their authenticity should be a public structure for non-commercial purposes.

It is worth noting that anyone can establish such a structure, however, with some exceptions:

• Citizens of foreign states and stateless persons;
• Legal entities;
• State and municipal authorities.

In addition, foreign commercial and non-profit organizations cannot act as founders, but they can finance the community through voluntary contributions and donations.

The created community must be registered with the state authorities without fail.

It is worth noting that in order for the registration process to go smoothly, the following rules must be observed:

• The number of community members must be more than 2 people;
• All members of the organization must sign the statutory documentation;
• The community must have an official name, indicating the location and the main type of management.

Property of the community of indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation

Taking into account the fact that a community uniting indigenous peoples cannot be a commercial structure, all of its property consists of charitable contributions, donations and other financial assistance.

The state determines that when registering a community, all its members must form a charter in which it will be noted what property they contribute as their entrance fees. Property can be both in monetary terms and in kind (real estate, transport, furniture and interior items, etc.).

By law, all property belongs to the community itself.

However, if a situation arises when one of the members of the organization decides to leave its ranks, his share, which was paid by him as an entrance fee, will be returned to him in full in monetary terms or in kind.

It is worth noting that despite the fact that the community of minorities is not a commercial structure, it can contribute to the sale of goods produced by indigenous peoples.

The profit received will be distributed among the members of the community, or transferred to the authorized capital of the organization with the appropriate division into shares.
