Abstract
The author analyzes the legal regulation of the right to determine and indicate his nationality in Russia in different historical periods. It is noted that the determination of ethnicity in modern Russia can be based on person's subjective submissions or defined by objective criteria. In the imperial period mode of life (nomadic or vagrant) and tribal origin as ethnographical characteristics were the criteria of nationals' attribution to non-Russians (members of national minorities in tsarist Russia). In the Soviet Union national identity's determination depended on the parents' nationalities and can't be changed in future.
