Abstract

The authors set out to study the extent and formats of interaction between the host population of a met­ropolitan city and the “visible others” in various social contexts (contacts as friends, neighbors, colleagues, etc.). Based on the analysis of the survey of Moscow residents (N = 452) conducted in December 2020, the authors examine the interaction between locals and new­comers from several perspectives. Firstly, these are the main social spheres and situations in which such contacts most often occur and how Muscovites assess this interaction. Secondly, these are features of their assessment of the de­gree of closeness to and alienation from the migrants from different countries/regions (Transcaucasia, Central Asia, re­publics of the North Caucasus). Finally, according to the projective part of the study, the inclination of city dwellers topossible contact with “visible others” in dif­ferent everyday situations was analyzed: from the appearance of such people as neighbors, colleagues, and bosses to choosing them as friends and spouses.
