The paper discusses features of ethnic lobbying. The conditions, under which ethnic groups form the need to lobby group socioeconomic and political interests, are analyzed on the example of the borderland of Bessarabia. Ethnic culture under the conditions of the region has become a significant element of the social space designing: from the organization of city landscape to ethnic representation in the socioeconomic activity of the majority of the «traditional» and «new» ethnic groups living in the region. The ethno-social groups create a social network, inside which the main socio-cultural activity of the group is realized: adaptation to the environment of other cultures, retention of the part of social space and the city infrastructure within the limits of which the group is functioning and conducting the translation of the cultural tradition, which is necessary for maintaining identity and reproduction of the group. The conditions for the development of socioeconomic environment of the researched region determine conscious demonstration of belonging to ethno-cultural and confessional communities. This was the natural condition for forming lobbying groups on the basis of cultural, ethnic and religious affiliations. Their activity is directed towards providing assistance for the development of economic and social projects initiated by the members of the groups. Traditional ethnic groups of the region (Jews, Armenians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Russians, and Tatars) and a number of the «new» ethnic groups, whose economic and demographic possibilities allowed them to act as capable subjects in the sociopolitical space of the city (Chechens, Azerbaijanis, Chinese, Vietnamese), carry out the lobbying activity under the conditions of the city. The presence of the already formed social ethno-cultural systems under the conditions of the region has become an important moment in the process of forming groups of pressure with ethnic features. It has made ethnic groups a convenient reserve for electoral recruitment during election campaigns.
