Public Attitude to the migrants in Russia (Basing the Example of Tatarstan Republic)

AbstractMigration as a social phenomenon attracts attention in times of crisis, in moments of social tension. The problem of migration has become urgent for Russia in the past 10-15 years. Basing scientific evidence, the authors concluded that the problem of labor migration in general is perceived with anxiety almost by half of the population of the Republic of Tatarstan as a subject of the Russian Federation. The inhabitants of Tatarstan Republic feel the wariness towards the migrants. According to the results of research, less than half of the respondents were not against the temporary residence of the migrants, a small part believes that the regulations in this question should be based on the principles of assimilation and a fifth proportion of residents insists on the prohibition of the migrants entry to Russia. Regarding the problem of the migration we can’t talk about the openness of the society, and also the authorities don’t feel responsibility to create certain conditions for the migrants integration
