Adapting Of The Migrant Community Of Russia To The Coronavirus Pandemic Conditions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of adapting the migrant community of Russia to the conditions of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection. 2020, which has become the year of epidemiological challenges for the whole world, has actualized many global problems, the most convex of which were the food and migration crisis. Many countries have imposed either full or partial lockouts on the movement of people to prevent the widespread spread of the virus within borders, including limited communication with other countries. The pandemic of COVID-19 has revealed the vulnerability of migrant workers as a social group, a problem common to the vast majority of the world. There is a persistent concern among international researchers involved in the sociological study of sentiment among migrants about potential food shortages and possible outbreaks of xenophobia. The author analyzes the problem associated with the socio-economic situation of representatives of the migrant community of Russia. Considerable attention is paid to the past 2020, as the period in which the most acute crisis phenomena related to the migration issue in Russia were manifested. The author points to the multidimensional nature of the problem with the migrant community of Russia in the context of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection. The extent to which restrictive measures by states of the world affect global migration mobility is also addressed. The author states that there are shadow aspects of the problem associated with the socio-economic situation of Russian migrants in a pandemic.
