Migration as a Factor in the Spread of Extremism in Russia: Problems and Solutions

In the modern world, migration is one of the most discussed phenomena, significantly affecting the social, economic and cultural aspects of life. Statistics on crimes committed by and against migrants in Russia from 2020 to 2024 reveal trends that require in-depth study. The author analyzes the relationship between migration flows and crime rates, and focuses on the negative consequences of migration, such as the rise of extremism. Various types of migration (labor, forced, etc.) and their specific consequences are considered. The  factors that contribute to the radicalization of migrants are explored, including socio-economic marginalization, cultural gap and political isolation. Theories explaining the relationship between migration and extremism are discussed, and the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing issues related to migration and extremism is emphasized In conclusion, recommendations are proposed for developing an effective migration policy aimed at reducing extremism and ensuring social stability. Important aspects include the integration of migrants, raising legal awareness and improving intercultural dialogue. A comprehensive approach to these issues will help create a more inclusive and secure society that promotes harmony and understanding between different ethnic groups.
