Zh. A. Zayonchkovskaya was one of the first ^[1] to begin the study of internal migration in the USSR, which was under the tacit ban in the 1960s. The book "New settlers in cities" brought fame in the scientific community, and her first works were devoted to the poorly studied problem of adaptation of migrants in new cities of Siberia. Later, in the 1970s, at SOPS, she was engaged in long-term forecasting of the labor market and migration, as its components in conjunction with the regional economy, and since then have been one of the most respected experts in this field. In the 1980s, speaking at the Institute of Geography of the USSR Academy of Sciences as the head of research on the evolution of settlement, he actively studied migration in the context of urbanization and the transformation of settlement systems, including expeditionary research. The topic of external international migrations that became relevant after the collapse of the USSR in the 1990s and was hardly studied during the Soviet era becomes the main one for J. A. Zayonchkovskaya. Her work again in many respects becomes pioneering, and due to the severity of migration problems - relevant and relevant. At that time, she headed the Laboratory for Analysis and Forecasting of Migration and the Independent Research Council on Migration of the CIS and Baltic States ^[2] conduct a series of studies and publish a series of books based on their results, edited by J. A. Zayonchkovskaya. She organizes many international conferences, seminars, round tables, which allows her to be in the center of discussions of a rapidly changing migration situation and, based on ongoing research, to act as one of the most significant migration experts.

When analyzing the transformation of migration processes in Russia and in post-Soviet countries under the influence of market and political reforms, the sphere of research interests includes forced migrations in post-Soviet countries, “brain drain” from these countries, labor immigration to Russia, Chinese immigration. At the same time, research continues on the problems of internal migration - the internal mobility of the Russian population is studied ^[3] , and migration forecasts are developed for the country as a whole and for individual federal districts. Her research is supported by the academic institutions where she works, as well as Russian and foreign foundations and partners, such as the Public Chamber, the Commissioner for Human Rights of Moscow, the All-Russian Public Organization of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (“Opora Rossii”), and the Bureau of the International Organization on Migration (IOM) in Russia, UNESCO, UNHCR, Ford Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Carnegie Endowment, United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), MIRPAL World Bank Network for Migration and Remittances, By about for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), and others.

Within the framework of international cooperation, she conducted several projects to study migration problems in the post-Soviet space, including assessing the migration potential of the Russian-speaking population in the former Soviet republics, adapting forced migrants in Russia, and discussing the interaction of migration and labor markets in new socio-economic conditions. . She took an active part in the creation of the UNESCO Migration Network for Central and Eastern Europe (CEENOM). She made a special contribution to the preservation and maintenance of the ties that developed during the Soviet era between demographers and migration specialists in the Newly Independent States.
