POLITICAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE RUSSIAN MIGRATION POLICY’S IMPLEMENTATION (based on strategic planning documents)
This article analyzes the most important strategic planning documents in the field of migration policy of the Russian Federation — the Federal Migration Program (1994), the Concept for the Regulation of Migration Processes (2003), the Concept of Migration Policy for the period 2012–2025 (2012), Concept of Migration Policy for 2019–2025 (2019). Normative legal documents in the field of migration were selected as the object of research, and the principles of migration policy proclaimed by them were selected as the object of research. The aim of the study is to classify these principles and establish continuity between strategic planning documents in the field of migration. Research objectives: consider strategic planning documents; analyze the principles of migration policy proclaimed by them; classify the selected principles of migration policy into groups. As a result of the work carried out, universal principles (contained in all analyzed strategic planning documents) and particular principles (contained in only one or several strategic planning documents) were determined. Based on the analysis of these principles, both universal and particular, it is concluded that the proclaimed priorities of the policy in the field of migration ensure the competitiveness of Russia as a recipient country of migration in the world arena.
