The paper contains the reconstruction of Russian migrants’ autoand hetero-stereotype visions about their country of origin (Russia) and host county (Spain)  using the method of freeverbal associations test.  It introduces a system of categories which combines similar groups of associations to the stimuli “Russia” and “Spain”. It also introduces the analysis of Russian migrants’ autoand hetero-stereotypes. Significant differences were registered in the number of associations under the categories: “Spending free time; way of life” (1 % of significance) and “Nature of the ethnos’s environment. Climate conditions.Flora and fauna” (5 % of significance). The autoand hetero-stereotypes are explained as indicators of sociocultural adaptation and possible reasons for Russians’ migration to Spain.
