Abstract
Today such processes as globalization, rapid pace of migration, urbanization have led to a considerable marginalization of the languages and cultures of ethnic groups in Russia. One of promising ways to sustain and develop these languages and cultures is fostering their representation in cyberspace. Current research is aimed at examining 124 websites in four languages, which are widely used in Russia – Tatar, Chuvash, Bashkir, and Chechen, identifying the degree of the cultural and linguistic diversity of these websites, singling out their general trends, considering how well four aforementioned ethnic groups are currently represented in cyberspace, and discussing what the reasons for this are.
