Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to expand knowledge about regional minorities in the Russian Federation. The subject of interest will be the characteristics of Cossacks, Pomors and Siberians as a potential threat to state security. The work will discuss models of taming these minorities, which should be understood as forcing them to obey, a type of active ethnic policy, as a result of which the sense of distinctiveness is limited to the cultural dimension, omitting the socio‑political aspect. Models of taming through division, taming through securitization and taming through identity disruption have been distinguished.
