Abstract

The key issues addressed in the article are the following: what ethnic groups cause the great­est rejection of the carriers of intolerant atti­tudes, How can ethnophobia and migran- tophobia be compared, How does the attitude towards certain ethnic groups and migrants change? The author uses a wide empirical ba­sis for the analysis: the data about the South of Russia, 24 and 17 waves of the Russian Moni­toring of the Economy and Health of the Popu­lation - RLMS-HSE (2015 and 2008 years), as well as the results of qualitative research con­ducted by the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in four regions of the South of Russia in 2015-2017. The population is most wary of the people from the North Caucasus, Central Asia, the South Cau­casus. It is shown that the respondents with different attitudes of tolerance / intolerance (tolerant, hesitant, hypo-intolerant and hyper- intelerant) significantly differ according to their attitudes towards the "visible minorities". It is concluded that ethnic tolerance or intoler­ance is a key indicator of the attitudes towards migrants. In the South of Russia, the level of ethnophobia and migrant phobia is decreasing, but the alertness to the representatives of cer­tain "visible minorities" is stable and have la­tent forms.
Keywords:
