The study aims to explore changes in the attitude of the local population towards migrants in Russia and Central and Eastern Europe (the Czech Republic and Hungary) from 2010 to 2016. European countries experienced the refugee crisis in 2015, while Russia hosted many migrants from Eastern Ukraine in the aftermath of the Crimean crisis. These events shaped the attitudes towards migrants in the region, despite the Russian government’s ban on anti-migration organizations after 2014. In addition, the paper explores the factors that might have influenced the formation of anti-migrant perceptions. Using the European Social Survey data (2010-2016 waves), the authors conduct an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis. As a result, they find that the local population began to perceive migrants in a more negative way. The authors explain this shift both by economic and non-economic factors, depending on the case. Moreover, using the confirmatory factor analysis, they conclude that Russia, Hungary and the Czech Republic can be considered as one large macro-region where similar processes occur.
