Russia (bbabo.net), - Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev held a meeting on additional measures for the integration and adaptation of migrants in Russian society. According to him, it is necessary to concentrate on this topic, since it causes both tension in society and resonance.
Several million foreign citizens come to Russia every year. As Medvedev stressed, these are often people who live next door to us, while they are citizens of their country, they preserve their traditions, language, household habits, way of life. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, today the number of the largest diasporas in the country ranges from one to five million people.
They are mainly people from the countries of Central Asia, the groups are very heterogeneous, with their own specifics, often in conflicts, the deputy head of the Security Council said, and in places where migrants live compactly, there is a risk of ethnic enclaves forming: "A kind of small states within a state that live and according to their own laws, and according to their own concepts, and most importantly, they ignore our laws. Without proper control, they can and, unfortunately, often become a breeding ground for extremist and terrorist sentiments and centers of crime."
Relations between residents of such areas and local residents are very wary, often hostile, Dmitry Medvedev stated: literally an insignificant reason is enough for an outburst of irritation, "it is enough to strike a match, as they say."
"We need to strengthen control over the situation in such residential districts and settlements, carry out preventive work, including with the leaders of these same diasporas," the deputy head of the Security Council believes.
Medvedev pointed to the priority of Russian citizens over migrants Text: Vladimir Kuzmin Russia is interested in giving foreigners the opportunity to work legally, receive education, medical care, and raise children, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said. "But I want to specifically note that the priority for us remains the issues of our national security, our state, the well-being and comfort of our people - namely our people," he stressed at a meeting on additional measures for the integration and adaptation of migrants in Russian society.
The processes of adaptation of migrants should be comfortable and safe both for them, "and for the host country, that is, for Russian society as a whole," the deputy head of the Security Council pointed out.
Medvedev: Medical examination of migrants should be mandatory Text: Vladimir Kuzmin In the current epidemiological situation, the issues of medical examination of foreigners who enter Russia for a sufficiently long period of time are of particular importance, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev believes. "It is important that they are not a source of infectious and socially dangerous diseases," he stressed.
Earlier, Russia adopted a federal law that establishes new rules for mandatory medical examinations for certain categories of migrants. "We need to analyze the situation, make these procedures comfortable, reasonable, but, of course, mandatory. They should apply to everyone, even if these are slightly different procedures for certain categories," Medvedev said at a meeting on additional measures for the integration and adaptation of migrants in Russian society.
Medvedev: Russian language exam should be a filter for migrants Text: Vladimir Kuzmin A mandatory Russian language exam should be a kind of filter to allow first of all those migrants who are law-abiding and sufficiently educated, those "who are ready to perceive our culture, traditions, who would really like to live and work here," said Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
There are many questions about the system for organizing exams, so he suggested discussing the topic at a meeting on additional measures for the integration and adaptation of migrants in Russian society.
It is also important that in other countries, especially in the near abroad, people learn the Russian language, get acquainted with the culture of Russia, including those young people who are willing to come to work or study with us, the deputy head of the Security Council emphasized. Such work is already being carried out by Rossotrudnichestvo and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but, according to Medvedev, it should be both more systematic and more active.
In the Kaluga region, migrants were banned from working in taxis and catering Text: Elena Shulepova (Kaluga) In the Kaluga region, a ban is introduced on attracting foreign citizens to work in certain types of economic activity on the basis of patents. Also, the region is withdrawing from the program for the resettlement of compatriots from abroad, the corresponding decree was signed by the head of the region Vladislav Shapsha.The program to assist the resettlement of compatriots in the territory of the Kaluga region has been operating since 2007, according to the explanation to the document. At first, people really came to the region, brought up in the traditions of Russian culture, who spoke Russian. This fully corresponded to the goal of the program for the return of citizens who are able to quickly and painlessly adapt to Russia. For 14 years, 90,000 IDPs have moved to the region for permanent residence.
"In the first years of the program, the results were consistent with the goal: the Slavs made up more than 80 percent. By 2022, the proportion of representatives of the Slavic peoples has decreased to 17 percent," the report says. At present, the majority of visitors are from the countries of Central Asia and the Caucasus, often with a very poor understanding of the Russian language. "Thus, we have to state that by now the implementation of the program has not reached the originally set goals," the authors of the document summarize. The development of a program for the resettlement of compatriots has been suspended for the next period - until 2027.
The governor's decree also introduces a ban on the work of migrants in trade and in public transport, including taxis. The ban also concerns the involvement of foreign citizens in public catering. In addition, they closed vacancies in recruitment agencies.
The resolution "On the establishment for 2022 of a ban on the involvement of business entities operating in the territory of the Kaluga region, foreign citizens carrying out labor activities on the basis of patents for certain types of economic activity" was signed on February 11, its appearance was preceded by a discussion of measures in regulating migration policy . Entrepreneurs were given 3 months to bring their cases in line with the adopted document.
