The analysis of the problems of adaptation and integration of labor migrants in Moscow and the formation of a new migration policy in this sphere are considered in the article. The analysis of dangers and threats arising from the intensity of migration flows is made. The importance of the ethnic factor in the adaptation process, the belonging of migrants to a particular nationality having a powerful diaspora or developed migrant networks in Russia are specially stressed.
