Authors consider deconstruction of this mythology important for two reasons. Firstly, the reproduction of negative stereotypes about migration allows the right-wing populist parties and movements to accumulate political capital, provoking new waves of anti-migration sentiments and creating a vicious circle. Secondly, these sentiments directly or indirectly influence the decision-makers. As a result, decision-making process in the field of migration regulation become influenced by irrational factors. Turning to common misconceptions about international migration, authors show that: a) the mechanical extrapolation of modern demographic trends into the distant future and causal relationship between demographic indicators and migration processes are not scientifically justified; b) there is no direct correlation between the size of the population in less developed regions and the intensity of migration flows from these regions to industrialized countries; c) international migration is by no means a one-way “South - North” process; d) perception of “North” countries’ migration policies, as charity, is fundamentally wrong because it doesn’t take into account the complex interdependence of modern world. In addition, authors demonstrate inadequacy of the image of a “migratory tsunami” threatening to flood Europe.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Предмет статьи - мифологизированные представления о феномене глобальных миграций, циркулирующие в обыденном сознании и в медиа. Критический разбор этой мифологии авторы считают важным по двум причинам. Во-первых, воспроизводство негативных стереотипов по поводу миграций позволяет правопопулистским партиям и движениям аккумулировать политический капитал, провоцируя новые волны антимиграционных настроений. Во-вторых, эти настроения прямо или косвенно оказывают влияние на лиц, принимающих решения. В итоге процесс принятия решений в сфере миграционного регулирования попадает под давление факторов, лежащих за пределами рациональной калькуляции. Обращаясь к распространенным заблуждениям по поводу международных миграций, авторы, в частности, показывают, что: a) механическая экстраполяция современной демографической динамики на долгосрочную перспективу и вера в каузальную зависимость между демографическими показателями и миграционными процессами научно не обоснована; б) между объемами населения в регионах с низким уровнем жизни и интенсивностью миграционного оттока из этих регионов в индустриально развитые страны нет прямой связи; в) международная миграция не является однонаправленным процессом («Юг» - «Север»); г) представление о миграционной политике стран условного Севера как о благотворительности принципиально неверно, поскольку основано на игнорировании такой характеристики современного мира, как комплексная взаимозависимость . Кроме того, авторы демонстрируют несостоятельность образа «миграционного цунами», грозящего затопить Европу.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international migration</kwd><kwd>migration statistics</kwd><kwd>antimigration sentiments</kwd><kwd>migration policy</kwd><kwd>rightwing parties</kwd><kwd>political myths</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>международная миграция</kwd><kwd>миграционная статистика</kwd><kwd>антимиграционные настроения</kwd><kwd>миграционная политика</kwd><kwd>правопопулистские партии</kwd><kwd>политические мифы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Howard M.
