Abstract

Researchers are increasingly interested in how migrants perceive themselves in a new environment for them, but issues of identity and belonging are becoming more complex in a modern pluralistic society. Germany is a special case as the government has implemented several resettlement programs, thus singling out certain groups on its own. The article examines how Russian-speaking immigrants in Berlin identify themselves and whether their self-identification is influenced by the presence of programs that provide various conditions for inclusion in German society.The main results showed a variety of types of self-identification. However, there was no strong impact of the programs. A sufficiently high importance of the social circle, citizenship, and, most importantly, the urban environment for building a model of self-identification was revealed.
