Abstract

The article examines the problem of differentiating the phenomena of "forced migration" and "forced migrant" from other related concepts that exist in Russian political and legal practice, including the concepts of a forced migrant and a compatriot abroad.

The need to study this problem is due to the growing relevance of forced migration issues in connection with the tense geopolitical situation throughout the world, the growing number of refugees and other categories of forced migration and the need to ensure high-quality legal regulation of forced migration issues.

The purpose of this article is to study the phenomena of forced migration and a forced migrant, to identify key features that allow separating these concepts from other related legal concepts.

In the article, within the framework of the conclusions, the key features of forced migration are identified and considered, qualitatively distinguishing this phenomenon from other related concepts and phenomena and allowing it to be singled out as an independent political and legal category. The most significant signs of forced migration include such signs as forced movement, caused by the main goal - to prevent harm to life and health, as well as imprisonment for their beliefs, as well as the absence of socio-cultural ties with Russian society and the state, which predetermines the objective need of forced migrants for measures for social adaptation and integration in the territory of the state of arrival.

Taken together, these signs allow us to distinguish the concept of forced migration and a forced migrant from other related legal phenomena.
