Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of the interaction of migrants with the host community, which is relevant in scientific and practical terms. Migration is associated with various challenges; an important one is the danger of transferring social conflicts to the interethnic plane, especially in a situation of social instability. This situation is currently typical for most countries of the world, so it is essential to assess the impact of the frustration factor on interethnic relations among certain groups of the population. The way out of frustration is often translated into the sphere of interethnic relations. The problem is especially relevant for such multi-ethnic states as the Russian Federation. The author gives a brief historical overview of the phenomenon of migration, as he believes that its specificity depends on the stage changes in the system of human adaptation to the environment. After all, migration is directly related to the adaptation of migrants to new conditions. This approach, in his opinion, helps to understand modern migration and prevent possible conflict situations in time.
