Using data from a structured survey and in-depth interviews in three Russian cities, our study engages the scholarship on immigration legal regimes and racialization practices to examine the experiences of ethnoracially motivated harassment among working migrant women from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan in Russia. The results of statistical analyses show that regularized legal status is associated with a significantly lower likelihood of experiencing harassment at the hands of law enforcement agents and other actors alike. Regardless of legal status, however, the analyses reveal significant variations across the three migrant groups, with members of the group that is seen as racially most distinct from the host population having the highest odds of reporting harassment. The analysis of in-depth interviews confirms and expands on these patterns, providing additional insights into the complex expressions and interplay of legality and race in migrants' everyday experiences. The study findings are situated within the cross-national literature on migrants' legal and ethnoracial exclusion in receiving contexts.

俄罗斯民族骚扰的合法性、种族化和移民经历


我们的研究利用来自俄罗斯三个城市的结构化调查和深入访谈的数据，利用移民法律制度和种族化实践方面的学术知识，探讨来自吉尔吉斯斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦的职业移民妇女在俄罗斯遭受种族歧视的经历。统计分析的结果表明，正规化的法律地位与遭受执法人员和其他行为者骚扰的可能性显着降低相关。然而，无论法律地位如何，分析都揭示了三个移民群体之间的显着差异，被认为与东道国人口在种族上最不同的群体的成员举报骚扰的几率最高。对深度访谈的分析证实并扩展了这些模式，为移民日常经历中合法性和种族的复杂表达和相互作用提供了更多见解。研究结果来源于关于移民在接收国的法律和种族排斥方面的跨国文献。
