Abstract: This paper focuses on the issue of quality management in higher education, which is rethought and solved in the special context of migration in Russia and other countries of the CIS. The article aims to determine the relationship between labour and educational migration and the quality of higher education in the innovation economy of Russia and other CIS countries. For this purpose, an econometric model of the impact of labour and educational migration on the quality of higher education in the innovation economy of Russia and other CIS countries has been compiled using regression analysis. Based on the model, it has been proved that labour and educational migration is determined by factors of quality of higher education and the labour market. The advantages of increasing the incoming flow of educational and labour migration for higher education in the innovation economy of Russia and other CIS countries have been substantiated: the increase in fees for the use of intellectual property objects and the number of patent applications. The authors' forecast has shown the prospects for an increase in the quality of higher education in the innovation economy of Russia and other CIS countries through the optimization of labour and educational migration. The main conclusion of the study is that during the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia and other CIS countries, the essence of labour and educational migration has transformed - participants with high human potential seeking to obtain higher education and take knowledge-intensive jobs have become predominant in the structure of the migration flow - and due to this, its influence on higher education has significantly increased in the innovation economy. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the proposed set of authors' recommendations will optimize migration flows and, thus, unleash the potential for the development of the quality of higher education in the innovation economy of Russia and other CIS countries in the Decade of Science and Technology.
