The attitude of Russians towards migrants remains negative: the majority of respondents believe that they increase crime rates and negatively affect the economy and culture. Seven out of ten respondents believe that the influx of newcomers should be limited and all illegal migrants should be expelled from the country. At the same time, the majority of respondents do not feel interethnic tension in their place of residence, do not feel open hostility from people of other nationalities and do not experience it themselves. However, up to a third of respondents consider mass clashes possible at the national level within the country.
