Abstract: Sociological studies reveal demographic, educational, conflict and communication problems caused by the intensification of migration processes as a result of globalization (Castles et al. 1996; Massey et al., 1998; Юдина, 2004). Migration processes are currently providing persistent transformational impact on the demographics and education practices in modern Russia, putting on the agenda the questions about the limits of ethnic tolerance. Reforms (2003-2014) in education caused great damage to the national security system, because as the practice of life shows, the “spirit and the letter” of education in Russia is constantly adapt to the challenges of “real politic”. Our recent research has shown that it is difficult to overestimate the role of education as a backbone factor could play in the integration of modern Russian society, if the impact of the reforms.
