Over the centuries of the interaction of old ethnoses, firstly, the Buryats and Russians, on the territory of the Republic of Buryatia such human qualities as cooperation, calm, sta- bility, good-neighborliness, friendliness had been developed and strengthened. This al- lows us to use the concept "ethnic consent" when assessing inter-ethnic relations in the republic. Noting the role of natural and geographical conditions, as well as the state poli- cy of the center in relation to rimland, we consider external factors and typical manifesta- tions of the ethnic consent in the 1990s and modern conditions. The current stability of inter-ethnic relations in the Republic of Buryatia is, in particular, a consequence of the positive trend in this sphere in the past. We have analyzed factors and manifestations of the ethnic consent of old ethnoses, such as their character traits, interfaith tolerance, and the prevalence of national mixed families. The ethnic consent in the republic is a result of centuries-long processes of mutual adaptation, consolidation and integration.
