Abstract
The specificity of return migration in Russia rests on historical backgrounds and since 2006 is in large part connected with the intentions of the Russian government to use return migration as a resource of development of regions having increase in population due to low fertility, aging or strong out-migration. The study presented in the article is focused on the analysis of outcomes of the State program of repatriation along with attitudes of local population toward different political policies, concerning return migration, studied during social surveys in seven border regions, located in different parts of Russia. It has revealed that general pragmatic orientation of population towards international migration is combined with different political strategies supporting compatriots. Their choice is determined by objective, socio-structural, and subjective, related to culture and education, factors, but their weight and significance differ depending on initial discrepancies in socio-economic, demographic and ethno-cultural characteristics of regional societies.
