Abstract

The article examines the situational factors of the integration of migrants in the cultural sphere. The study is based on semi-formalized interviews with migrants from Azerbaijan in Moscow and the Moscow region, as the region that receives the most numerous flows of labor migrants. Based on the research approaches of European scientists (R. Penninx, H. Entzinger), cultural integration is considered as one of the most important spheres, along with political, legal and socio-economic. It is shown that migrants from Azerbaijan, being «visible minorities» and «objects of unwanted presence», assess relations with Russians in a positive way, and also see themselves as a part of the host society, based on getting used to life in it. Plans to return to the country of origin are not very common for them, the desire to «settle» in Russia looks like a more acceptable strategy, especially among long-term migrants.
