Abstract
The relations of migrants and the host community of a large city are examined on the example of Novosibirsk and are illustrated by the materials of an expert survey conducted with the participation of the authors. The enclave formation process is considered as a special strategy of the adaptation of migrants, consisting in their social and territorial exclusion from the urban environment and their following self-organization in enclaves. The dual nature of the formation of an ethnic enclave is analyzed - the enclave is formed both by forcibly exclusion by the dominant community, and voluntarily as a strategy of adaptation of the migrants themselves along the path of least resistance. The conclusion is made that the enclave can be considered as a transitional stage of adaptation and integration, as it allows other ethnic migrants to locally reproduce in the new territory the ethno-cultural system and the social structure of the country of origin. Based on the analysis of empirical materials, it was concluded that there is no integration of the social system of the enclave with the city's network.
