Abstract
Objective of the study is to identify the nature of the attitude towards migrants of the members of the host community who share the principle of equalizing justice. The methodological basis of the research was the analysis of respondents’ answers to questions characterizing their attitude to migrants. The attitude towards migrants was determined on the basis of a generalized assessment of the attitude towards migrants (digital scale); attitude towards migrants of various origins (nominal scale); attitude towards the need for migrants for regional society (nominal scale). The main significant feature is the respondents’ approval of the principle of equalizing social justice, the secondary significant feature is ethnicity. On the basis of these methodological positions, the influence of the adoption of the principle of equalizing justice on the attitude towards migrants was revealed. Research results. Firstly, it was revealed that the generalized attitude towards migrants depends more on the characteristics of an ethnic group, and not on the acceptability of the principle of equalizing justice for its representatives. Secondly, it was revealed that the attitude towards migrants of different origins is influenced by the characteristics of the ethnic group of evaluators, the characteristics of perceived migrants, and not the acceptability of the principle of equalizing justice for respondents. In particular, Russians (the ethnic majority) and Armenians (the largest ethnic minority) demonstrate a higher level of acceptance of migrants of various origins than Meskhetian Turks (an ethnic group of migrant origin) and Shapsugs (an autochthonous ethnic group). Thirdly, it was revealed that most of the representatives of the ethnic groups of the region, who share the principle of equalizing justice, believe that the region does not need migrants. The highest level of such assessments is observed among Shapsugs and Meskhetian Turks. In general, it was revealed that the adoption of the principle of equalizing justice practically does not affect the attitude of representatives of the host community towards migrants. Prospects of the study. The provisions of the article make it possible to further develop the sociological study of social justice in the context of interethnic relations and relations between the host population and migrants.
