In recent years, bilateral active movements have been taking place in the Republic of Armenia (RA), first with the participation of Armenians as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, then as a result of the 44-day war, as well as with the partic ipation of foreigners against the backdrop of various international events, especially the Russian-Ukrainian war. During this period, an unprecedented flow of foreign immigrants in large groups from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, as well as Lebanon and other countries has been observed in the RA. They have complemented the exist ing mosaic of foreign immigrants – such as Indians and Iranians, who had already settled in the RA. It is important to trace how immigrants overcome the stage of primary adaptation, how they integrate into Armenian society, what are the main issues that need to be emphasized when studying this process. As a rule, at the stages of integration, foreign immigrants face various legal, cultural, social-econom ic problems. From the point of view of environmental influence, it is important to analyze where immigrants settle, in what areas, especially in what parts of settle ments, whether they lead a compact or diffuse lifestyle, whether they pool their resources, how they communicate with local residents, etc. This paper attempts to analize the experience of immigrant integration in the RA, its legal and cultural prerequisites, as well as issues of their placement, in particular, to analyze examples of Russian and Indian immigrants who consitute the largest group.
