Abstract

Not only has social justice retained its relevance in the eyes of modern Russians, but it has also become one of their key personal values. The general notion of social justice creates a feeling of solidarity in the community, while also fostering an integrated multi-ethnic environment. This article is based on a study titled “The Resource of Interethnic Accord in the Consolidation of Russian Society: Common and Specific Factors of Regional Diversity”, which was carried out by the RAS Sociology Institute’s Center for International Relations Research in 2014 and 2015, in Moscow and the Moscow, Astrakhan, and Kaliningrad regions. The article reviews the opinions on social justice as a key value, as expressed by the locals and domestic migrants residing in Russian regions that are characterized by different demographics and a varying degree of involvement in modernization processes. Our analysis shows that a shared desire for social justice makes it possible to bring together the local population and the domestic migrants. All categories of the population (both the locals and the recently arrived migrants) live in the same social and cultural environment, face similar challenges, and strive to make a livelihood for themselves, their children, and their loved ones. The fact that all respondents express similar opinions of the issue means that social justice is a factor that unites all people regardless of ethnicity.
