Most current residents of different countries, regions and cities face the direct and indirect consequences of population migration on a daily basis even it is not their own migration. The issue of adaptation and integration of migrants occupies one of the significant roles among migration issues. The article presents an analysis of scientific approaches to the essence and content of the concept of “migration behavior”, “social integration” and “social adaptation”, of the data of sociological studies among foreign migrants conducted in the border regions of Russia with different ethnic composition (n = 449).

The study of cross-border interactions of the former Soviet republics is in the centre of research of many experts in border studies. Dynamics and positive effects of convergence processes are observed in the border regions of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan. The past five years have clearly demonstrated the hidden geographical potential of cross-border cooperation between these states, which is explained by a qualitatively new phenomenon in the post-Soviet space – the formation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Therefore, the top-down initiatives have strengthened the processes of economic, social, cultural and political convergence of the regions of Russia and Kazakhstan. The purpose of this study is to consider the overlap and the double effect of “hidden” and “formal” integration of border regions of Russia and Kazakhstan and to assess their impact on the social and economic development of border territories.

In line with the observation that tourism is becoming a key element of economic development in border regions, the author describes an approach to a specific form characteristic of border regions alone, i.e. cross-border tourism and its role as a factor in the development of regional and local economies. Cross-border tourism gains presentation here in relation to the mobility of tourists (with differing purposes) between neighbouring border regions of the Russian Federation and Finland, with no account taken, however, of the development and functioning of the tourist system overall. The aim has thus been to seek to substantiate the importance of the development of cross-border tourism in the socio-economic development of the Russian-Finnish borderland. In its several parts, this article focuses first on theoretical and practical developments of Russian and foreign academic thinking as regards the development of cross-border tourism. A second part then reveals (and looks for structure among) factors influencing the nature and dynamics of cross-border tourism development in the Russian-Finnish borderland. The role of these factors in the phenomenon’s development is identified. Empirical data are then used in a third part identifying features and general trends, with the stimulation of cross-border tourism considered a direction of importance in the development of border regions either side of the state border under study. Given the positive effect of cross-border trade on the development of Finnish border regions, it would seem crucial that Finnish tourists should be attracted to the Russian border area. Finally, the significance of the development of cross-border tourism in the Russian-Finnish borderland is deliberated, where the area in question is taken to encompass Murmansk Oblast, the Republic of Karelia and Leningrad Oblast in Russia, as well as Finnish Lapland, Northern Ostrobothnia, Kainuu, North Karelia, South Karelia and Kymenlaakso. Median indices are calculated. The outcomes of the research are regarded as of both academic and practical significance to the development of cross-border tourism, seen academically and from the point of view of both regional and municipal authorities and representatives of the tourist industry.

Because living and working conditions of migrants of the Asian borderland of Russia affect the level of social security and international and inter-ethnic relations in the Russian regions, there is a need in a deep sociological analysis of these conditions. In 2019 we have performed a sociological research in six Russian border regions (the Altai and Khabarovsk regions, Amour, Astrakhan and Volgograd oblasts and the Republic of Tyva) including expert evaluations in the form of standardized interviews among leaders of national-cultural associations (n=130). The article describes results of the factor analysis on pooling data and separate regional sub-samples. It was found that factorial structures vary significantly in different regions. The least complicated structure was revealed in the Republic of Tyva (only 2 factors), the most diverse – in the Astrakhan oblast (4 factors). In other regions the three-factor structure was the most relevant, while the united data was described with the four-factor solution. The description and analysis of the factor structures obtained may be used for elaboration of effective strategies of adaptation and integration of migrants into receiving societies of regions, covered by the research, and for justifying measures of migration policy of the Russian Federation.
