The problems of adaptation and integration of ethnic migrants into the Russian society become more and more acute, due to the intensification of migration processes in the modern world and the involvement of the Russian Federation in them. Nearly 38 million children participate in the international migration, and many of them meet difficulties with the access to qualitative education, and have to pass through an enduring and tricky way of linguistic, cultural, social and psychological adaptation. The structure of conventional cultural and communicative, natural and geographical contacts, interactions of a child with his family and relatives is destroying, a child is stressed and experiences the crisis of identity, has to rethink and reinvent values and social regulations. The listed problems contribute to the increase of social disadaptation of ethnic migrants’ children; generate the situation of their potential failure in the future. Inside the society, accepting migrants, these problems complicate the structure of interethnic relations and links, and sometimes it becomes a ground for inter-ethnic tension. In the Russian Federation, the problem of adaptation of children from the families of ethnic migrants also becomes quite urgent, especially in the sphere of education. The author of the article has been researching this theme during the latest 20 years, and in 2019–2020 this research is made in the frames of the project “Integration of the children of ethnic migrants’ families via education: the methodical and consultative support of schools and kindergartens in the regions of the Russian Federation”, where 32 educational organizations in ten regions participate. The article illustrates a series of problems connected with the adaptation of migrant children, using the materials of the research made in the Ryazan’ and Kaluga regions. These children are mostly migrants of one-and-a-half or the second generation, and their families came to Russia from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan. Several paragraphs refer to the problems of adaptation to school of the Gypsy children. Basing on the results of the analysis, the author names main restrictions that prevent schools from the organization of intensive work aimed at linguistic, social and cultural adaptation of ethnic migrants’ children. She also defines main problems restraining the integration of the children from ethnic migrants’ families into the Russian educational environment and Russian society.

The socially dangerous situation of minors is one of the most acute and at the same time difficult to solve problems of modern society. In different forms, it takes place in almost all countries of the modern world. The Russian Federation is no exception. The significant economic stratification of Russian society, the growing social inequality, the constant increase in the number of citizens living below the poverty line and a number of other equally important factors create conditions for an increase in the number of minors in a socially dangerous situation. The system of prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency carries out measures for monitoring, accounting, preventive work with the designated social group. The emphasis is on the socio-economic and socio-psychological consequences of the socially dangerous situation of minors. The socio-political aspects of the socially dangerous situation of minors are hardly taken into account. The article is devoted to the study of the socially dangerous situation of minors through the prism of modern challenges to the national security of Russia. The article examines the reasons for the formation of a socially dangerous situation of minors. The possible consequences of a further increase in the number of minors in a socially dangerous situation were identified and described in relation to public and State institutions. The article identifies the challenges to the national security of modern Russia, which may come from the social environment of minors in a socially dangerous situation. New mechanisms of ensuring national security of modern Russia, taking into account the interests of minors in socially dangerous situation, are conceptualized. The empirical base of the article is the data of the system of prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency (2017-2018), data of indices of social and economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation (for the same period of time). The methodological basis of the article is the author's approach, which implies a combination of the theoretical foundations of the system of prevention of neglect and juvenile delinquency with the conceptual provisions of the theory of national security.

Legal Mechanism

The article describes process of legal mechanism formation of social and cultural adaptation and integration of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation. In spite of the fact that from the moment of Soviet Union disintegration Russian Federation is a country with the largest immigration inflow. Russian migration legislation doesn’t have concepts "adaptation" and "integration" of foreign citizens for more than 20 years. In 2015 the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs was opened. It received the status of federal executive authority responsible for development and realization of state policy in the area of adaptation and integration. The first legislative measures directed to sociocultural adaptation of foreign citizens are analyzed. It is noted that the target audience of adaptation and integration is still not defined legislatively. Events held in territorial subjects of the Russian Federation cover various categories of foreign citizens and as a rule this is studying of Russian language, Russian history and legislation principles. The author proves that specified measures aren't enough for full inclusion of foreign citizens in the Russian society. The probability of social exclusion and formation of isolationist installations for foreigners is still high. Specified factors’ overcoming is obviously possible only thanks to the fullest realization of social rights of foreign citizens, first of all rights on housing and education. Legal mechanism of social and cultural adaptation and integration has to create conditions for realization of their social and cultural rights within the unified centers of adaptation and integration. High-quality implementation of this idea demands broad attraction of foreign citizens, non-profit organizations and also volunteers.

The accurate perception of culture-specific emotions of the people living in the host country, may be the most significant, and yet the most underestimated challenge for the international students in the process of adjusting to a new culture. The latest report of the Institute of International Education (IIE) about Russia, confirmed that, in the year 2020, around 353,000 international students are currently studying in the Russian Federation. The studies of van de Vijver in 2007 and 2009 have confirmed that the foreign students from former Soviet republics or former USSR countries (students from post-soviet states, not including Russia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) have lower degrees of perceived cultural distance with Russian culture, this can be explained by the fact that the students from former Soviet republics can speak Russian language fluently, and share religion and traditions with Russian culture. Consequently, the group of students from former USSR countries adapt better to Russia in comparation to the rest of international students. The results of our study in 2020, revealed that the perception of Russian culture-specific emotions among international students studying in the Russian Federation, is significantly predicted by the similarity between the culture of the international students living in Russia and the culture of Russian society. Moreover, our study confirmed that the group of students from former Soviet republics, or former USSR countries, perceived more similarities with Russian national culture; therefore, this result is consistent with the findings of the aforementioned studies of van de Vijver in 2007 and 2009. Thus, we can consider that the accurate recognition of Russian culture-specific emotions and the perceived similarities to Russian cultural standards, may be very significant for the international students studying in the Russian Federation, especially for their process of adjusting to Russian culture. Nevertheless, further research on this topic is needed.

Alongside the renewed constitutional norms, the author analyzed the related articles of the current Russian legislation, as well as separate regulatory provisions of constitutional nature of the foreign countries. The scientific novelty of this work is substantiated by the objective factors associated with recent amendments to legal matter of the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993, and thus, practically full absence of scientific legal research on this topic. The author also notes the primary importance of studying the renewed basic constitutional provisions for academic community, as well as the entire Russian society.  In conclusion, it is noted that the Third Chapter of the Constitution of the Russian Federation dedicated to federative structure undergone significant changes.

Russian Identity

Introduction. The priority for the development of Russian society is the strengthening of Russian statehood. The strategic purpose defining the policy of successful functioning and development of the state becomes the preservation of the Russian people as a single holistic entity. The main condition for achieving the unification of multi-ethnic and multi-religious Russian society is the formation of Russian identity. At the same time, there is a need to solve the discussion question of the relationship between Russian identity and human identity, including whether Russian identity is nationality or citizenship. The purpose of the article is to examine the structure of public-civic identity as a social setup; In determining and analyzing mechanisms and methods of forming the value basis of Russian identity, its cognitive, emotional and behavioural components in terms of activity and cultural and historical approaches. Materials and Methods. Cultural-historical, activity and humanistic approaches, normative-value concept of social action and theory of social setting were used as theoretical and methodological basis for research of aspects of phomization of spiritual and moral basis of Russian identity. Results. To characterize the identity of citizens of the Russian Federation (Russian citizens), we use the concept of “Russian civil identity”. To characterize Russian nationality (Russians), we use the concept of “Russian civil identity”. This makes it possible to distinguish between “Russian civil identity” and “Russian national identity”. In the English-language version, these concepts are marked the same (Russian identity). Russian civil identity is considered as a social establishment of a citizen of the Russian Federation, the formation of which takes place through the formation of its components: cognitive, emotional and behavioural in social-useful and socio-cultural activities. The mechanism for forming the value basis of Russian identity is the process of interiorization by the person of spiritual and moral values in the course of education and self-education during immersion in social-useful and socio-cultural activities. Personality interiorization of the value basis of Russian identity occurs by transferring cultural code from generation to generation using an information method (cognitive mechanism); Emotional infection and identification with behavioral models of reference groups as a result of participation in socially useful and socio-cultural activities (emotional and behavioural mechanisms). Discussion and Conclusions. In the rapidly changing modern world, the role of public-civil identity as a factor consolidating society and strengthening statehood has increased. Since the State is a social institution created by citizens of the country in a single territory to ensure the State administration of the life of society, it is important to form a State-civil identity as the State is perceived by its citizens. In order to form and strengthen civil identity, the State needs, on the one hand, to create conditions for the population of the country to form a positive image of the State as a collective entity with spiritual and moral values as a priority. On the other hand, to create appropriate conditions for successful interiorization by the person of the value basis of Russian identity. Cognitive, emotional and behavioural self-identification of an individual with norms and values of a certain sociocultural environment, its cultural and spiritual code creates a single line of development of the country and its people.

One of the negative phenomena of the modern world are attempts to falsify history and the results of the Second World War, 1939-1945., is an important component of the ideological confrontation in the information space of neoliberal forces of Russian society with patriotic and non-violent, is a tool for achieving geopolitical goals of a number of states. United States, European Union and Ukraine tend to distort the results of the Second World War to remove the history of the Great Patriotic War, the feat of the Soviet people, who saved the world from fascism, and the Soviet Union (Russian Federation), together with Nazi Germany put in the dock of history, accusing all the troubles of the XX century. At the same time attempts to rehabilitate fascism and substitution postwar realities lead to the destruction of the entire system of contemporary international relations and, as a consequence, to the intensification of the struggle for the redivision of the world, including military measures. China is actively implementing the historiography of the statement that World War II began June 7, 1937 and is linked to an open aggression of Japan against China. Given these circumstances, the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation noted that the trend of displacement of military dangers and military threats in the information space and the inner sphere of the Russian Federation. The main internal risks attributable activity information impact on the population, especially young citizens of the country, which has the aim of undermining the historical, spiritual and patriotic traditions in the field of defense of the Fatherland.

The article explores the relationship between education and migration, statistics of children from migrant families in educational institutions in Russia, access to education for children from migrant families in Russia, and the integration of migrant children in schools in Russia. Recommendations on state interaction with the children of migrants are offered. Population movements and migration processes are an integral part of human history. Another modern phenomenon, globalisation, entails fundamental changes in the world and the world market. Migration is a constant concomitant phenomenon of these changes. Education plays a crucial role in supporting third-country migrants in adapting to a new country and culture as well as in building social relations in their host communities. Education is a key resource for participating in the economic, social, political and cultural life in today’s education and knowledge society.Experience has repeatedly shown that differences in occupational status and chances on the labour market and associated income, social welfare living standards and public reputation, as well as differences in political, social and cultural participation, are linked to differences in educational attainment.Social integration of migrants through participation in the institutions of the host society, such as the education system and the labor market, is undoubtedly one of the most significant social problems in Russian society. For migrant children, language and structural assimilation in the education system in the sense of formal equality of opportunity are key to social integration in the host country.The main donor countries, from which most people migrate to Russia, are primarily the CIS countries. About 30 % of the total flow of migrants in Russia, finding with family and children. The birth rate among migrants is higher than local ones. Accordingly, Russia faces a big challenge, led by migrant children, from whom it can get a big contribution in the future, if they get a good education.The main problems faced by migrant children in Russian schools are lack of knowledge of the Russian language, discrimination, refusals of enrolment, etc. The aim of the study is to examine the educational situation of migrant children in Russian schools, as well as their education as a contribution to the future of Russia.

The article is devoted to an urgent criminological problem connected with the insufficiently controlled and illegal external labor migration into the Russian Federation, which poses a considerable threat to its national interests and public safety. The author presents and analyzes new statistical data regarding the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of crimes committed by labor migrants in Russia as well as their other criminologically relevant characteristics, he singles out and describes economic, psychological, legal and socio-political prerequisites and factors of crimes committed by labor migrants in Russia. It is noted that modern Russian society is characterized by worsening criminogenic situation and processes that lead to hostile and aggressive behavior and intolerance towards labor migrants, which exacerbates both the criminal situation and the interethnic and interfaith conflicts and increases the manifestations of everyday xenophobia, migrant phobia, and nationalism from the locals. The author draws attention to the fact that criminogenic factors in the labor migrants’ environment are mainly connected with a low degree of social adaptation, acculturation and integration of labor migrants into the Russian social and cultural environment due to their poor knowledge of the Russian language, history and culture, the basics of Russian legislation, traditions and customs of social interaction, the absence of a substantial and constant intercultural dialogue or productive information exchange, comprehensive and resourced state and municipal projects and programs aimed at the socialization, successful integration, and social support of labor migrants. In this connection, the author suggests new, effective and optimal anti-criminogenic directions and formats of integration and adaptation work with labor migrants living and working in the Russian Federation that could improve their law abidance, general and legal culture, responsible attitude to social norms; the author also outlines prospective measures of general and special prevention of crimes committed by external migrants.
