Abstract
The study of problems of interethnic and interfaith relations is particularly relevant in the modern conditions of development of Kazakhstan. Practice shows that, despite most Kazakhstanis' commitment to interethnic stability, integration and harmony, any society has destructive elements that do not agree with the existing order and are ready to violate the fragility of outstanding values. In this regard, the priority of studying this issue is determined, first of all, by the possibility of timely identification of the main trends in the dynamics of society to develop new approaches and solutions for the further preservation and strengthening of social harmony, which are inextricably linked with the prospects for the development of the state in the global world. This article contains the results of quarterly sociological measurements to study the interethnic situation in the Mangistau region in 2022. In particular, the article examines issues of interethnic attitudes in the context of social well-being, migration sentiments of the region's population in the context of the modern geopolitical situation and the main transformation processes taking place in the country and the world. The "ethnosocial situation" concept was highlighted as the primary operational concept. Social well-being, interethnic integration, and migration sentiment were used as variables.
