From the Editor
The thematic issue of the journal includes articles considering various aspects of the migration movement of population over the territory of modern Russia and abroad, starting from ancient times and up to the present. The study of the demographic development of the country and its regions is of great scientific interest, since it allows us to answer many topical questions of the socio-economic and even political development of Russian society. The practical significance of such research is obvious, since the study of the causes, scale, sources, and territorial directions of migration makes it possible to assess the consequences of modern decisions of central and regional authorities. In the post-Soviet period, historical research on migration has become much more active, and this issue continues the long-established tradition existing at the Institute of History SB RAS of publishing works by domestic and foreign authors that are devoted to the study of retrospective demographic processes.

Functions of the Migrant Home: Russian-Speakers in Finland
The necessity to have a shelter is one of the most important human needs. When people go abroad for a long time, they take with them things that will help them master a new space, make it comfortable, while at the same time preserving what is dear in their past life with their presence. While changing themselves, they transform their surroundings, either wishing to integrate or emphasize their identity, or creating varying extensions of their new identity, which may reflect both the former and the dominant culture around them or some third culture.
