Over the past year, the minimum number of people over 14 years has moved to the resettlement program of compatriots to Russia

In 2024, 31.7 thousand people moved to Russia in Russia under the voluntary resettlement program in the Russian Federation, Kommersant writes with reference to the data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In total, 36.4 thousand people sent the applications. This is the minimum indicator since 2011, when 61.1 thousand applications were submitted, and 31.4 thousand people moved to Russia. Kommersant notes that even in 2022, when a full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war began, the results were higher (112.7 thousand applications and 64.8 thousand who came). The leader in the number of those who moved to Russia became Kazakhstan in 2024 – this country accounts for 35% of all immigrants. In 2023, the leader was Tajikistan. The Ministry of Internal Affairs also talked about the growth of the number of immigrants from countries whom the Russian authorities consider “unfriendly”. In particular, about 700 compatriots moved from Germany last year, 600 each from Moldova and Latvia. They stated that they expected even less than 30 thousand people in 2024. The fall of indicators in the ministry explains the introduction of a new condition to participate in the program. Now, immigrants (with the exception of citizens of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Ukraine) must confirm the knowledge of the Russian language at a level, “sufficient for communication in oral and written form in the conditions of the language environment.” This can be done by passing a test or by providing an education document issued in a country where the Russian language is one of the state. The program of the resettlement of compatriots was launched by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 2006. The declared goal of the program is to help the country to return to the country to people outside the Russian Federation after the collapse of the USSR. On January 1, 2024, the Repatriation Institute appeared in Russia. It was created as part of the program to assist the voluntary resettlement of compatriots living abroad in the Russian Federation. Cominants who are constantly living abroad as of February 24, 2022 can count on repatriation. According to the law, repatriate who want to return to Russia will be able to get a residence permit in a simplified manner. In the State Duma they want to change the meaning of the term “compatriots”. Why is this yet? (Tagstotranslate) News
