The concept and types of illegal migrants in the framework of the implementation of the concept of the State migration policy of the Russian Federation

The purpose of this study is to substantiate the concept of a broad approach to the definition of the concept of "illegal migrant", which is a necessary condition for achieving the goals of the state migration policy of the Russian Federation, deter-mining the range of such subjects of migration and legal relations. 

As a result of the study, it was revealed that traditionally in the modern scientific paradigm an approach has been formed in accordance with which a foreign citizen or a stateless person acts as an illegal migrant, which is unreasonable, firstly, from the point of view of the concept of the state migration policy of Russia, and secondly, with the position of stereotypes formed in the Soviet period to counteract the illegal stay of foreign citizens and stateless persons in the country. This circum-stance testifies to the current lack of understanding of the ideas of the need for a systematic approach to solving the problems of migration in the Russian Federation. 

Conclusion: in the course of the study, the author formulated the author's vision not only of the concept of "illegal migrant", but also proposed a system of types of such subjects of migration and legal relations, requiring in the future the formation of their special administrative and legal status.
