The article conceptualizes the scientific phenomenon of “integration policy”, which is one of the key factors in the formation and implementation of the migration policy of the Russian Federation as a mechanism for ensuring national security. It is noted that the policy of integration is the reaction of the political system to the spontaneous social process of migrants joining a new community, the essential characteristics of this phenomenon are analyzed, and it is emphasized that integration is a two-stage process consisting of the adaptation of a migrant and his/her further integration into a new community. Considering the acceptance of a migrant into a new community as an integral part of the migration process, the author argues that the incorporation of a migrant, along with the relations arising in this regard, are the objects of integration policy as a component of migration policy. Accordingly, the public interests related to the inclusion of migrants in the host community constitute its subject field.
