Abstract

The purpose of the article is to identify the assessments of the regional community of the Rostov region in relation to the migration policy of Russia. The empirical basis of the study was a mass questionnaire survey conducted in 2024–2025 in the Rostov region based on a quota sample. It has been revealed that "relative" and "not absolute estimates" dominate among residents of the Rostov region regarding the effectiveness of Russia's migration policy, which implies the potential variability of such estimates. In general, there is a tendency to polarize opinions, with some bias towards negative performance assessments. Socio-demographic characteristics do not affect the generalized assessment of the effectiveness of migration policy as a whole. However, special features have been identified: among respondents who have only completed secondary education, the proportion of "unstable" grades is higher. Expressing their opinion on the reasons for the inefficiency of migration policy, residents of the region most often chose: corruption, business lobbying, lack of legislative initiatives. Thus, the respondents consider "shadow" factors to be the most important reasons. Socio-demographic characteristics in general do not have a significant impact on the responses. However, the peculiarities were revealed: the older the respondents, the less they chose lobbying and lack of legislative initiatives. In general, the state of opinion on migration policy is such that it is ready to accept changes in Russia's migration policy.
