Abstract
The concept of Russia’s state migration policy draws attention to the growth of migration activity in the immediate vicinity of Russia’s external borders and the range of Russia’s interests. Large-scale migration flow from the Middle East and North Africa to Europe, which began in 2014–2015 up to now, has caused unfavourable socio-economic processes in the recipients of EU states. Besides, it has created risks and threats of expansion in these states criminal, terrorist, extremist illegal, destructive migration. The above harmful overflows of post-crisis migration can become a serious threat to Russia as well as to the border states with it. The article examines the risks for Russia of immigration flows from unstable countries in the context of the level of state-political, economic and social stability in them and the impact of external factors on the internal situation in the states — migration donors. The author also analysed mechanisms for preventing political and social risks through the regulation, streamlining and legitimisation of immigration flows.
