Abstract

The Russian Federation, due to its geographical characteristics, political events, as well as its position in the international arena, has always been and is characterized by active participation in migration processes, which gives rise to the need for systematic management of migration processes and an effective migration policy. Like most European countries, Russia is a recipient state and receives a large number of migrants every year. According to the United Nations, the Russian Federation is the fourth state in the world in terms of the number of migrants simultaneously staying on its territory, while migrants make up 8% of the total population on the territory of the Russian Federation [1, p. 35]. Migration problems in Russia, regulation of migration flows, creating comfortable living conditions for visitors, improving the quality of public services are becoming a priority in the implementation of the national development goals of the Russian Federation, outlined by the President of the Russian Federation. The problem of population migration is relevant for the modern world, since migration affects social life and is due to a high degree of intensity of migration processes, which directly affects the interests of Russia as a host country. Consequently, it is necessary to have a purposeful influence of the state on migration processes through the implementation of an effective migration policy. At the present stage, migration is an effective resource for ensuring the national interests of the country, migrants are full members of Russian society, and the fixed position of goals and objectives allows us to talk about a new historically unique stage in the development of migration policy. Thus, migration policy can be recognized as an integral part of state foreign and domestic policy, in connection with which consideration of the main stages of its formation is of particular importance for the modern Russian state.
