Abstract

The article discusses current issues of compliance/violations of the rights of labor migrants from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in the Russian Federation. The results of a sociological survey of labor migrants from Central Asian countries in Russia and at home are presented. The main forms of violation of the rights of labor migrants are identified: unreasonable verification of documents by the police; extortion of money by the police in the form of “fines”; discrimination of national origin by lessors; cheating by the employer, labor exploitation, delay and non-payment of wages, fines at work; arbitrariness of officials and the provision of low-quality public services; rudeness, humiliation of honor and dignity both on the part of some representatives of power structures, as well as at home, on the part of the local population; denial of full access to court proceedings. The study showed that the rights and freedoms of labor migrants - citizens of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are violated in Russia more often than migrants from other countries of the former Soviet Union. The consequences of the adoption of the law on foreign agents for NGOs and labor migrants in Russia are considered.
