The article presents the results of a sociological and cultural study of ethnic migration in Siberia (Krasnoyarsk Territory). The aim of the present research is obtaining sociological characteristic of current problems of intercultural relations of a migrant and host environment. The object of the research is cultural values and needs, arising in the process of relations of a migrant and host environment, and its subject is analysis of cultural attitudes of students and migrants, living on the territory of the region, to arriving migrants. There are 137 nationalities living on the territory of Krasnoyarsk Krai. In order for the information of the socio-cultural research to be objective and results to be valid, we selected 500 people for participation in the research. The sample was chosen in the following way: 250 persons were selected among the students of institutions of higher (Siberian Federal University) and secondary professional education (Krasnoyarsk Polytechnic College), and 250 migrants, representatives of ethnic groups, living on the territory of the city of Krasnoyarsk. The main stimuli for co-residence of migrants and host environment (local population) (on the material of analysis of questions about temporary and permanent residence) are: eagerness to co-participate in socio-economic and cultural development of the region in case of permanent residence and rejection of temporary residence for the sake of improving demographic situation of the host country. However, the strategy of separation, allowing to preserve unique distinctiveness in the environment of a different culture becomes the main condition for migrants' residence, and for the receiving (host) side, similarity of cultural characteristics of migrants and their own culture becomes important.
