The article gives an overview of the main lines of joint research by scientists from Russia and Belarus in ethnology and socio-cultural anthropology of the last decade. The article follows the results of joint projects of the Russian Academy of Sciences N.N. Miklouho-Maklay Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology and the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Center for Studies of Belarusian Culture, Language and Literature. The emphasis is made on such important (from scientific and political point of view) topics as the ethnocultural situation in the Belarusian-Russian borderland; adaptation of immigrants from the zone affected by the Chernobyl accident; migration processes and ethnocultural landscape in areas bordering the EU countries (in particular, in Kaliningrad and Grodno). New scientific challenges and prospects for further cooperation between scientists of the two countries are being announced.
