Abstract

This article aims to consider the example of two differently active re-gions of the South of Russia in terms of migration (Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, “recipients” and Dagestan, “donor” of “internal” and labor) migrants) (1980s - early 1990s) experience of managing migration flows at the regional level and the problems of adaptation of migrants to new socio-cultural conditions. The article substantiates the need to study popula-tion migration. On the example of regions (administrative-territorial regions of Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, Sochi, the Republic of Dagestan), the consequences of mass displacements in the late 1980s - early 1990s from the republics of Central Asia, Transcaucasia as a result of inter-ethnic conflicts, deterioration the quality of life of the population. Using a systematic approach, a sampling method and a comparative analysis, the re-gional specificity of the migration situation is revealed, the experience of reg-ulating the migration problem at the federal and regional levels is considered. The research is based on the normative legal acts of the federal and regional legislation, archival documents. It is concluded that in the late 1980s - early 1990s, the Krasnodar Territory, the Republic of Adygea, Sochi became one of the main in Russia, accepting a significant number of migrants from the re-publics of the USSR. The experience of regulating the migration problem consisted in the creation of regional structures for its solution, the develop-ment of migration legislation at the federal and regional levels, the coordina-tion of work on the management of migration processes, the formation of mechanisms for the socio-economic adaptation and integration of migrants. The consequences of the intense dynamics of migration processes continuing to this day in the regions considered in this article are characterized by both similar trends and local features. So, in Dagestan, there is an intensive de-population of mountainous territories. The demographic situation "moun-tains without mountaineers" is considered by a narrow circle of "collective farm heirs" as optimal for the liquidation of dairy farms, the transformation of mountain agricultural terraces, hayfields and even gardens into summer pastures for distant sheep breeding, i.e. the industry, from the point of view of job creation (three shepherds are enough to care for 1000 heads of sheep), is the least productive and, therefore, negligibly focused on the social and ethno-cultural well-being of mountain communities.This article aims to consider the example of two differently active re-gions of the South of Russia in terms of migration (Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea, “recipients” and Dagestan, “donor” of “internal” and labor) migrants) (1980s - early 1990s) experience of managing migration flows at the regional level and the problems of adaptation of migrants to new socio-cultural conditions.
