Social Distancing as a Process of Social Interaction in a Metropolis
This article examines social distancing as a process of social interaction among residents of Novosibirsk. The scientific and practical interest in this metropolis stems from its ranking as the fourth-highest city in terms of migrant inflow in Russia. Drawing on data from the ongoing sociological study “The State of the Social Situation, Interethnic and Interfaith Relations in Novosibirsk, " which has been conducted since 2018 using a multidimensional, stratified sampling model, the authors conclude that social distance in relations with migrants has increased in the city, alongside greater integration by nationality. The paper categorizes types of social interaction and proves that individuals who have personally experienced violations of their rights due to ethnicity see grounds for conflictual relationships and conflicts to a greater or lesser extent.
