The articlecontinuesaseriesofpublicationsonthecausesoftheemergence, developmentandtransformationof Nagaibaks identity from a class of Baptized Tatars to a separate group with ethnic identity. The purpose of this article is to trace the evolution of the economic system of the Nagaibaks in the XX - early XXI century as an ethnic marker of their identity. The methodological basis of the study is based on modern approaches in world Anthropology and Ethnology, explaining ethnic phenomena as changeable and plastic structures, arising and changing under the influence of external (political, economic, etc.) factors. The Genesis of new identities can happen very quickly by historical standards. The reason for this may be the external impact of political, administrative or economicimpact. Ethnic identity is a thing so plastic that it can change fundamentally, but at the same time preserving the complex features of traditional culture and language. Ethnic identity can be preserved and even actualized at certain moments, despite the loss of cultural archetypes of the past and the change of linguistic identity. The emergence and transformation of new identities is observed in many regions of Russia and neighboring countries. The study of the mechanisms of emergence and vectors of development of local identities allows us to consider the overall picture of the formation of identically political, the actualization of which is observed, in particular, in the post-Soviet area. The discussion of the Nagaibaks issue in the framework of public, political and academic discourses contributed to and advanced our understanding of the multiethnic nature of the Russian nation, the laws and prospects of its development. The article is intended for historians, anthropologists, ethnologists, politicians and all those who are connected with the process of formation of modern civil society in Russia. The published materials are intended to assist representatives of the academic community, statesmen, teachers, local historians, etc. in understanding the patterns and relationships in the development of ethnic and political identity phenomena.
