ABSTRACT
Social, economic and political changes in society have actualized the problem of human migration. However, migration processes are not a new phenomenon, since they accompany human development constantly. It was in the second half of the 19th century that European countries began to keep records of people who migrated. At the same time, the COVID-19 pandemic has stirred up the world today, which, of course, has stopped the pace of migration processes, and the situation with the course of this disease in the world is very different, which can cause a new wave of migration of people to safer countries. In our opinion, it is relevant to pay attention to the effect of socio--cultural factors on the migrant's personality, which is reflected in adaptation and identification processes.
