Abstract

In 2021, the draft federal law “On the conditions for entry (exit) and stay (residence) in the Russian Federation of foreign citizens and stateless persons” contains an article “Social and cultural adaptation and integration of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation”. But the social and cultural components are clearly not enough for full-fledged legislative regulation of such an important problem as the adaptation and integration of migrants. There is no legislative consolidation of the powers of regional and municipal authorities in this area. They solve this problem at their own discretion - they use the available resources to solve this problem according to the residual principle, which once again emphasizes the need for legislative study of the solution to this issue. As we move from heaven to earth (from the federal level to the regional, and from the regional, respectively, to the local), it becomes clear that the fulfillment of the tasks and goals of adaptation and integration of migrants on the scale of the needs of the Russian Federation and its economy is declarative, despite the critical decline permanent and able-bodied population and increasing pressure on it. The unsettledness of relations leads to terminological confusion and substitution of concepts, the uncertainty of the circle of subjects of this activity, significantly complicating the implementation of the integration policy. The subject of this study is the adaptation and integration of migrants in the current legislative and by-laws for the period from 2019 pre-pandemic year to the present. The period is due to the fact that only existing measures or only programs that have ceased to operate were taken into the scope of analysis. The aim of this study is to analyze it.
