Russian Government Announces Severe Drop in Migrants
Lesson Brief
BBC Russian
Russia's Federal Migration Service has announced that it anticipates a sharp decline, possibly as much as 70%, in the number of immigrants moving to Russia. Reasons for this include the devaluation of the ruble, difficulties in obtaining work permits, and a lack of available jobs for migrant workers throughout the country. The Russian government has also begun to require migrants to pass a Russian language exam, creating yet another obstacle for those wishing to work in Russia.
