Zhang Mei. The Development and Historical Contribution of the Russian Emigrant Press in Harbin (China) in the 1920s–1940s	download russian text
Between the end of the XX century and the first half of the XX century, there were several waves of mass migration of Russian expatriates to China. The "Russian diaspora in China" also became a striking historical phenomenon of the XX century. The Russian emigrants arrived in China in large numbers, with the largest numbers in Harbin and Shanghai. The Russian expatriates settled here and gradually integrated into the life of the local population. At its peak there were more than 200,000 Russians living in Harbin, far more than the local population, so that Harbin was once considered the 'capital' of the Russian diaspora in China. They founded schools, published newspapers and magazines, and built churches in Harbin, and their activities left a deep mark on the political, economic and social aspects of the city, as well as writing a glorious chapter in the cultural history of the Russian diaspora. Since the publication of Russian émigré newspapers reached its peak in the 1920s and 1940s, this article focuses on the publications of Russian émigré newspapers and magazines in Harbin during that period.

Smirnov S. V. Youth "policy" of the Bureau for Russian Emigrants in the Manchurian Empire (1935–1945)	download russian text
The youth "policy" of the Bureau for Russian Emigrants in the Manchurian Empire (BREM), the governing body of the emigrant colony in Manchukuo (1934–1945), was originally built on a combination of national education of youth with education in the spirit of ideas of anti-communism and the construction of the five nations’ commonwealth state. But later it evolved towards the priority of national education in the formalization of other areas. The youth "policy" of BREM reached its peak in its development in the conditions of increased Japanization of the socio-cultural environment of the Manchurian Empire and the Soviet Patriotic War in the first half of the 1940s. It contributed to the cultivation of national and cultural identity in the minds of Russian youth and the development of patriotism, which implicitly led to increased sympathy for the Soviet Union.

Based on the interview material, the article examines changes in the life and work of Chinese migrants who are focused on long-term residence and doing business In Russia. It was revealed that the impact of the pandemic, usually negatively assessed by experts at the macro and the micro levels, led to structural changes in ethnic business and the adaptation of migrants to new challenges: someone's financial side changed for the better, someone went bankrupt, and someone did not notice a significant difference, except for the change in the way of rendering service. We consider the consequences, highlighted by us, in three main areas: changes in the economic situation of migrants and in the structure of Chinese entrepreneurship, the transfer of economic activity to the virtual space and changes in social well-being and life plans.

Rybachuk D. A. The problems of Latino integration in the USA: political and socio-economic aspects	download russian text
The USA is one of the main goals of immigration for many Latinos in search of a happy life. By the year 2050 Latinos should take the first place among the most numerous national groups in the USA. Hence the questions of integration of Latinos in American society have recently played one of the most important roles. This problem is quite broad and is studied from the several angles of the existence of the state: politics, society and economics. The degree of political integration of Latinos in American society is increasing every year, and their influence on the political component of the United States can no longer be ignored. The work also proves the significant and sometimes irreplaceable participation of Latinos in the development of the American economy, based on various statistical data. Moreover, every year Latinos integrate more and more successfully into the American society, which is shown by such indicators as: self-identification, language knowledge, education, immigration and discrimination. Even though Latinos tend to preserve their national roots, they have learned to adapt to American reality.
