Abstract

Introduction. The relevance of this research is due to the need to develop an integration policy in Russia as an integral part of migration policy aimed at incorporating immigrants into the main social institutions. Intense migration flows with the absence of clear actors involved in integration policies, lead to the ethnic enclaves emergence, migrants isolation and other negative phenomena, which in their turn generate negative attitude towards migrants on the part of the local population. The purpose of the research is to single out the immigration policy time frame, which would correspond to particular models of external migrants integration into the Russian society, to analyze models of migrants integration in the context of public migration policy from 1992 up to now, and work out recommendations to formulate the migrants integration policy. Materials and methods. The research methods used are theoretical analysis of the text of regulatory legal acts, scholarly literature, comparison and analogy methods, comparative legal and statistical approaches, and qualitative analysis of documents as a specific sociological method. Results. Based on the analysis of various models of migrant integration proposed by domestic and foreign scholars, the author’s typology is given as the foundation to identify stages and characterize types of the real integration models. The need to improve migration processes management in the field of integration policy is substantiated, and steps to form an adequate integration model are identified. Conclusions. By now, a considerable amount of work has been done in the Russian Federation to create a system of sociocultural immigrant integration. However, integration policy is not yet sound enough; no federal law is adopted to adequately regulate relevant social relations.
