| | Titular nation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Titular nation (титульная нация, титульная национальность, титульная народность) was a term introduced in the Soviet Union to denote nations that give rise to еру titles of autonomous entities within the union: Soviet republics, autonomous republics, autonomous regions, etc. |
 | | For an ethnos to become titular nation, it had to satisfy certain criteria in terms of the amount of population and compactness of its settlement. |
 | | In a number of cases, in certain highly multiethnic regions, such as Caucasus, the notion of titular nation introduced intrinsic inequality between titular and non-titular nations, especially since the introduction of the "korenizatsiya" politics, according to which representatives of a titular nation were promoted to management position. |
