Abstract
The paper presents the main aspects related to the dynamics of migration processes and the implementation of migration strategies for residents of the regional capitals of the Far East. The empirical base of the study was the materials of official statistics and results of a sociological study based on qualitative methods (expert interviews and focus groups). Field materials were collected by the authors during expeditions undertaken in the summer-autumn and autumn-winter of 2021. In most of the Far Eastern capitals we are considering, there is a negative migration trend. Within the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), a «flow» of the population from rural areas to regional capitals is noticeable. But the rural migrants and migrants from other settlements does not always block the migration outflow of the population from the regional administrative centers of the Far Eastern Federal District to other subjects of the Russian Federation. Thus, there is upward migration mobility: if resources are available, people leave for places where there are more opportunities in terms of improving material well-being, employment, professional self-realization, access to educational, medical services, and socio-cultural facilities.
