Summary/Abstract: This article explores the problems of adaptation among German migrants from the former republics of the Soviet Union. Female and male adaptation strategies are considered under the prism of John W. Berry’s model of acculturation. The research based on the survey conducted among Russian-speaking migrants living in Germany, leads to the conclusion: there is a certain potential for re-emigration in Germany and constructs the generalized image of such a person.
