Linguistic adaptation of foreign citizens to Russian society as an element of the state migration policy: a regulatory aspect

Introduction. The issues of adaptation of foreign citizens to Russian society have recently become increasingly important in the implementation of state policies aimed at developing interethnic, interfaith, socio-cultural interaction, socio-economic development, and ensuring the internal stability of the state.

Materials and methods. The study is conducted through the analysis of current regulatory legal acts, which identifies key trends in the development of Russian legislation, as well as gaps in legal regulation that may affect the implementation of the right to education in the Russian Federation. The present research is based on the use of the formal legal, comparative legal, system method and the method of analysis.

Analysis. The study analyzes the issues of legal support for the linguistic adaptation of foreign citizens to Russian society, the specifics of the legislative regulation of the procedure for testing knowledge of the Russian language, and identifies the main results of law enforcement practice in implementing this mechanism. It is noted that over the past decades, priorities in the migration policy implemented by the state have shifted from ensuring socioeconomic interests to ensuring national security.

Results. The study leads to the conclusion that the maintenance of a mechanism for testing foreign citizens and their children for knowledge of the Russian language has become one of the conditions for the realization by these categories of persons of their rights to carry out legal labor and education in the territory of the Russian Federation, which, in turn, is designed to promote their further socialization in Russian society, as a result, ensuring internal stability and socio-economic development.
