Abstract
The chaper focusses on the Hůrka area in the housing estate of South-Western City in Prague. Since the 1990s, the neighbourhood has been a destination of international migrants who as of Census 2011 represented about a third of registered residents.
The specificity of Hůrka consistst in a long-term presence of a Russian minority, which is the largest immigrant group, and which has been paid attention to in academic work as well as in media. Apart from assessing the influence of international migration on the social structure and social climate of Hůrka, the chapter therefore also focusses on the particular role of the Russian citizens in the neighbourhood and the future of the minority in the area
