The research was carried out by the method of stand-ardized in-terviews, indepth interviews with experts and case studies of entrepreneurs Economic ties stand out among the multilateral ties of the Motherland and the Diaspora for their strength and long-term nature. In particular, among the peoples with a larger quantity of dias-poras outside their ethnic homeland, the features of these ties are more pronounced. A diaspora with a significant potential and great investment opportunities can create favor-able conditions for diasporic business circles to carry out en-trepreneurial activities in the ethnic homeland.
