MIGRANTS AND RECEIVING COMMUNITY IN THE MODERN SIBERIAN MEGAPOLIS (A CASE STUDY OF INTER-ETHNIC RELATIONS IN NOVOSIBIRSK)
Ethnic migration is often considered to be a potential danger for Russia. Differences in culture and, especially, in religious traditions are a source of mutual prejudices. Meanwhile, there are no alternatives to migration in the near future, taking into account the demographic and reproductive trends in Russia. Therefore, a search for an optimal model of immigrant integration into the receiving Russian society presupposes a consensus between cultural traditions (including the religious ones), which were learned by the immigrants in the countries of origin, and respectful attitude to the objects of All-Russian civil loyalty: the Russian language, Russian citizenship, Russian traditional confessions, customs and traditions of the local, mainly Russian, population.
