Abstract: Abstract In recent years, “the Kyrgyz infrastructure” began to develop in Moscow: “Kyrgyz clinics,” kindergartens, courses for preparing children for school, and real estate agencies made their appearance in the city. This infrastructure emerged as a result of the social exclusion of labor migrants in Russia. The Kyrgyz people have a special status in Russia as citizens of the EAEU. Despite this fact, they, like other migrants, face discrimination in the labor market and in accessing medical assistance. The chapter analyzes the emergence of the infrastructure created by migrants in Moscow and the reasons why the Kyrgyz community succeeded in this endeavor.
