Abstract
Globalization arises the problems among nations and confessions and they become more acute, which requires strong focus of the state and society. Untimely responses to these problems and negative societal attitudes towards migrants tend to develop into nationalistic ones, which can lead to serious consequences. Due to this fact, it is particularly important to analyze the situation in concern of tolerance in society towards migrants, especially among young people. The article considers the results of the research conducted among university students in order to highlight a tolerant attitude to migrants. The author used the research results of the American Institute of Public Opinion Gallup in order to make comparative analysis. The average level of tolerance among students was determined, and it was significantly lower than the global Migrant Acceptance Index. This indicates the poor situation and relevance of the relations with migrants. The author proposes the measures aimed at shaping tolerant consciousness in society, creating friendly atmosphere on the part of the local population to migrants, to people of different nationalities, who in their turn should accept the values of the other society and obey the national laws.
