Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of migrant crime in the Moscow megalopolis, Muscovites’ perception of the advantages and disadvantages of migration for the megalopolis, types of crimes committed by migrants, and the image of a migrant criminal in the eyes of Muscovites. Upon the analysis of scientific literature and results of sociological research, the authors thoroughly examined the reasons and factors of migrant crime. The article is written based on the contrast of the official data provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the populist opinions of Muscovites about migrant crime in the Moscow megalopolis.
