THEIR «OTHER»: RUSSIAN DOMESTIC INOETHNIC MIGRANTS IN THE MOSCOW MEGAPOLIS

Abstract

The concentration of migrants in the Moscow district causes tension between the host population and migrants. Consolidation potential of Moscow society the author sees in the implementation of adaptation measures and in the integration of migrants, especially of the people from the North Caucasus, whom the population treats particularly wary. The article discusses the factors, the level and the opportunities of integration in the Moscow district of domestic migrants, belonging to «visible minorities». The successful integration of immigrants is determined not only with their socio-demographic characteristics, migration experience, financial situation, but also with their value orientations, which do not differ fundamentally from those, specific for the Moscow citizens. Policy of the consolidation of the Moscow community should take into consideration the characteristics of the value orientations of the newcomers, which are not a significant barrier to their integration.
