Abstract
The article deals with the problems associated with the intensification of migration processes in the largest megacities. Both positive and negative consequences of uncontrolled large-scale migration flows are determined. The focus of this article is concentrated on the study of the nature and degree of manifestation of tolerance/intolerance in the ethno-confessional and socio-cultural interaction of various groups of indigenous and non-indigenous population (with varying degrees of involvement in assimilation processes) Moscow; based on a comparative analysis of religious, socio-cultural and socio-political views of the indigenous residents of the capital and migrants.
The results of monitoring by ISPR FCTAS RAS and IDR FCTAS RAS prove that uncontrolled migration processes contribute to the development of social risks. Ethno-confessional interaction is marked by the attitudes of the capital's indigenous inhabitants towards ethnocentrism, national and confessional exclusivity ("adherence to mono-national and mono-confessional marriages"). A significant difference in the socio-political, patriotic and confessional orientations of the typological groups studied ("indigenous" Muscovites and "newcomers") was revealed. Thus, the results of a sociological survey show that native Muscovites are more optimistic about the socio-economic and socio-political situation in the country, the political reform of society compared to migrants. In addition, when comparing assessments of the role of religious organizations and, in particular, the ROC in modern society, a group of "newcomers" Muscovites is less tolerant than a group of "indigenous" residents of the capital.
The revealed consequences of the negative phenomena of the uncontrolled migration process (for example, the illegal involvement of migrants in labor relations contributes to the growth of the shadow economy and corruption in the labor market, etc.) indicates the relevance of studying the integration, assimilation of migrants and tolerance/intolerance in the ethno-confessional and socio-cultural interaction of indigenous Muscovites and newcomers. It is noted that taking into account "social risks" in the practice of national policy can help minimize the potential of interethnic and interfaith tensions in the metropolitan metropolis.
