The article presents the first look at the contexts of the use of Internet services and mobile technologies by labor migrants from Central Asia during their stay in Moscow and the Moscow region. Special emphasis is placed on the consequences of the breakdown of digital reality in Russia in the beginning 2022 and the consequences of this breakdown for migrant workers. The article touches upon the issues of migrants' attitude to digital technologies and their role in work; questions about digital everyday life, spending free time on the Internet, as well as the use of digital applications available to migrants in Russia.
