The article analyzes the conceptual changes in the state national policy of the Russian Federation which were legally formalized in November 2025 and designated by the author as “Big November”. It is shown that the transition to the new Strategy for the State National Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2036 consolidates a shift from the logic of maintaining stability to a model of dynamic development of interethnic relations and the formation of a sustainable multiethnic community of the 21st century. Based on the analysis of a set of solutions (from strategic documents to institutional innovations) the substantive priorities of the new stage are revealed: digitalization of the ethnocultural sphere, updating educational approaches, the economics of interethnic cooperation, and youth policy. Particular attention is paid to the role of local self-government in the implementation of the updated paradigm. The article also substantiates the category of “ethnocultural sovereignty” as a key element of the updated paradigm, although not enshrined in strategic documents.
