a market economy and dealing with the liberalization of society, the first decade
of post-Soviet politics were marked by several issues, among them the issue of
rising illegal immigration from the former Soviet states. During this time, the
Russian Federation emerged as a new “migration magnet,” allowing for a surge
in immigration as a whole, as the name implies. The issue grew to such extents
that the Russian Federation was driven to the implement of Russian nationalist
groups such as the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, spawned in July of
2002. In 2012, the Russian Federal Security Service stated that there had been an
influx in illegal immigration from the Middle East and South Asia. Thus, due to
this a law was passed stating that any illegal immigrants that are caught are
banned from reentering the Russian Federation for another ten year. Today,
there are a total of 4 million illegal immigrants from former Soviet states living in
the Russian Federation.
The Russian Federation urges for the immediate implement of groups
similar to the Movement Against Illegal Immigration as well as a specific bureau
to monitor immigration. The Russian Federation also strongly urges that all
countries set in place at minimum a ten-year ban of illegal immigrants that are
caught.
