Abstract

The various aspects of the modern Russian legal migration policy are considered in the article, the development dynamics of the legal regulation of the external labor migration in the Russian Federation is analyzed. It is noted that the unworked legislative framework and the law-enforcement mechanisms in the matters of foreign labor migration can threaten the national security of Russia, it is emphasized that «brain drain» of the Russian experts is a serious destabilizing factor, as well as uncontrolled migration from the countries of the former USSR. However, changes in the migration policy in the recent years have allowed the authors to conclude that in Russia has begun to take shape the selective (elective) migration policy in the sphere of the external labor migration.
