In Russia, for most Central Asian migrants the feeling of ‘home’ is often in clear contradiction with daily practices in Russia. The tightening economic situation, collapse of the rouble and the ambivalent migration legislation, of course, affect the integration of migrants and a feeling of security in the new countries of residence.Чувство «дома» и «онтологической безопасности» является центральным в социальной и психологической интеграции как мигрантов, так и местных жителей. В России для большин-ства центральноазиатских мигрантов восприятие «дома» часто находится в явном противо-речии с реальными ежедневными практиками в России. Ухудшение экономической ситуации, падение курса рубля и амбивалентное миграционное законодательство, безусловно, влияют на интеграцию мигрантов и чувство безопасности в новой стране проживания.ontological securityCentral Asia countriesmigration to Russiarefugee crisisIntegration of migrants into the host societyонтологическая безопасностьстраны Центральной Азиимиграция в Россиюмиграционный кризисинтеграция мигрантов в принимающее общество[Baldassar L.
