Introduction. Regulation of social adaptation of migrants is one of the most important issues of state migration and social policy. One of the problems in the process of adaptation of migrants is the lack of a systematic approach to solving the problems faced by migrants in the host society. Therefore, it is necessary to study social work practices with migrants and their families to identify the most effective ones. The analysis of social work with migrants in state institutions of culture and social protection and in non-profit organizations reveals the situation with social work with migrants in Russia and identifies problems in the process of adaptation and integration of migrants into Russian society.Methodology and sources. Data for the sociological study in the form of expert interviews were collected using a qualitative method for evaluating social work practices with migrants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2018–2019 in St Petersburg, Moscow, and Kazan with employees of professional centers for work with migrants, scientists specializing in the study of migration processes in their various aspects, and organizers of regular events (seminars, conferences) on this topic. The sample (30 experts) was formed by the snowball method. The number of expert interviews allowed us to cover a variety of social work practices both in government structures and in nonprofit organizations.Results and discussion. The results of the study showed that various practices are used in social work with migrants in Russia. A distinctive feature of these practices is the dominant focus on socio-cultural adaptation and integration. The effectiveness of social work practices with migrants and their families can be defined in specific changes: improving awareness and legal literacy of foreign citizens, increasing their legal protection, simplifying access to health and education services, accessibility of assistance in finding housing and employment, the possibility of improving professional skills and knowledge of the language, culture, and history of Russian society.Conclusion. Expert assessments revealed the most effective practices of social work with migrants used in Russia: legal advice, orientation courses, mobile counseling points where migrants can get advice from a social worker, a lawyer, and a doctor, and mobile applications integrated with state and non-state organizations. The results obtained show that the role of non-profit organizations (national cultural organizations for the preservation and development of cultures, the House of Friendship of Peoples) that use social practices to help migrants and their families adapt more effectively to the conditions of the host society is growing. ; Введение. Регулирование социальной адаптации мигрантов – один из значимых вопросов для миграционной и социальной политики государства. Между тем проблемным компонентом процесса адаптации является отсутствие системного подхода к решению возникающих у мигрантов проблем внутри принимающего общества. В связи с этим необходимо исследование современных практик социальной работы с мигрантами и их семьями для выявления наиболее эффективных из них. Анализ социальной работы с мигрантами в государственных учреждениях культуры и социальной защиты, а также в некоммерческих организациях позволяет сформировать представление об общем состоянии социальной работы с мигрантами в современной России и выявить проблемы в ходе адаптации и интеграции мигрантов в российское общество.Методология и источники. Данные для социологического исследования в форме экспертных интервью были собраны с использованием качественного метода оценки практик социальной работы с мигрантами. Полуструктурированные интервью (в количестве 30) были проведены в 2018–2019 гг. в Москве, Санкт-Петербурге и Казани с руководителями и сотрудниками центров по работе с мигрантами, с учеными, изучающими миграционные процессы, организаторами регулярных мероприятий (семинаров, конференций) на эту тему. Выборка (30 экспертов) формировалась методом снежного кома. Количество экспертных интервью позволило охватить разнообразные практики социальной работы как в государственных структурах, так и в некоммерческих организациях.Результаты и обсуждение. Результаты исследования показали, что в социальной работе с мигрантами в современной России применяются различные практики, отличительной особенностью которых является доминирующая направленность на социокультурную адаптацию и интеграцию. Эффективность практик социальной работы с мигрантами и их семьями может быть определена в конкретных изменениях: улучшение информированности и правовой грамотности иностранных граждан, повышение уровня их правовой защищенности, упрощение доступа к услугам здравоохранения и образования, доступность помощи в поиске жилья и трудоустройстве, возможность повышения профессиональной квалификации и расширения знаний о языке, культуре и истории российского общества.Заключение. Экспертные оценки определили наиболее эффективные практики социальной работы с мигрантами, используемые в России: юридические консультации, мобильные консультационные пункты, адаптационные курсы, а также мобильные приложения, разработанные государственными и негосударственными организациями. Зафиксировано возрастание роли некоммерческих организаций (национальных культурных организаций по сохранению и развитию культур, Домов дружбынародов), использующих социальные практики, которые помогают мигрантам и их семьям эффективнее адаптироваться к условиям принимающего общества.

This article examines approaches towards studying generations. Millenials are highlighted as a specific object of research. Given their considerable inner diversity and non-uniformity, Russian millenials can be considered to be a holistic generation, which differs from elder generations in terms of social orientations and behavioral characteristics. The social self-identification of Russian millenials is examined, while identity criteria for various youth groups are defined. It is revealed that their self-assessment of status is considerably elevated when compared to elder generations, the former being based on somewhat different criteria. Despite the fact that material well-being, as is the case with elder generations, plays a key role in self-evaluation of status, millenials' self-identification is also based on education level and professional status, which might indicate their willingness to accept the values of a meritocratic society. Millenials' social capital is developed using sources provided by the new information-communication environment, with said sources being more diverse and attainable than ever before. Thanks to these new opportunities for developing social capital, the latter can be used much more efficiently in various environments. Millenials declare their high degree of solidarity with elder generations, while accepting a considerable amount of monetary and non-monetary assistance from the latter. Meanwhile they are extremely sympathetic to various forms of charity and volunteerism, while often participating in such activity themselves. In general, you can say that millenials are rather tightly linked to the system of social exchanges, while being prepared to assume the role of independent subjects of social activity. This article is based on data from a study titled "Differentiation of youth groups: economic activity, demographic behavior, social practices", conducted by the Institute for Social Analysis and Forecasting (Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration) in 2019. The sample, which represents Russia's population from age 18 to 35, consisted of 3.5 thousand respondents.
