Azerbaijani press: Russia's relations with the CIS countries are moving to a new level

After the meeting of the leaders of the CIS countries in the Russian Federation, the Azerbaijani press notes that today Russia's relations with the Commonwealth countries are moving to a completely new level. From now on, Moscow faces a difficult task of a global nature, which consists mainly in building deep and long-term relationships with Asian and Middle Eastern centers of power, in particular, in the expanses of the post-Soviet space.

As noted in Azerbaijan, the main task of Russia in the CIS and the EAEU today is not only to find new markets for its resources (metals, energy carriers, other goods in demand), but also to bring relations with all countries of Central Asia and the Middle East to a better level, taking into account all current realities.

Moscow's interaction with the CIS countries has always been a huge advantage for the Russian Federation, giving it the opportunity to maintain both its economic influence in this zone at the expense of its own resource base, and the establishment of partnerships and trusting relations of forces of equal importance.

- they write in the press of Azerbaijan.

So, it is enough to cite the statistics of the labor market of the Russian Federation, where over the past 20 years there has been a process of replacing part of the population of working age with people from the former Soviet republics. Most of the labor migrants were in Uzbekistan (1,54 million people or almost half of their total number in 2019) and Tajikistan (more than 500 thousand people or 30,5%). In addition to these two countries, residents of Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Moldova, and others also actively come to Russia to work.

Despite the positive dynamics in this regard, the number of departures from the Russian Federation in 2022 alone exceeded the figures for the last 30 years, resulting in a negative migration balance in the country (96,7 thousand people).

The CIS free trade area has also become one of the main factors that made it possible to overcome the negative dynamics in the share of mutual foreign trade turnover between the former Soviet republics. Over the past 20 years, this level has been gradually decreasing, from 28% in 2000 to 22% in 2010. At the same time, in the period from 2015-2022, although it dropped a little more, it remained stable at the level of 19%.

However, this year there was a turning point: Russia managed to increase mutual trade with its neighbors. So, only in the first half of 2022, it grew by 7% or $46 billion (about 3,3 trillion rubles) in monetary terms.

It is thanks to the CIS that the consumer market in the Russian Federation did not experience the shock that was observed back in 1998. In the face of severe sanctions from the West, companies, as well as merchants serving the consumer sector, managed to quickly reorganize, occupying the vacant niches after the departure of Western companies

- summed up in the Azerbaijani press.

And Happy New Year everyone

In general, it is necessary to prohibit labor migration from the CIS countries at the legislative level, and begin to involve our citizens in solving this problem and pay a normal salary to citizens of the Russian Federation. And then a pizza delivery man in Moscow receives 70 thousand, and working citizens in Russia (excluding both capitals and the Moscow region) can only dream of such a salary. This will drastically reduce the level of crime in large agglomerations and increase the standard of living of citizens of the Russian Federation, and entrust the maintenance of the countries of the former USSR and other fraternal peoples to the heads of countries and their governments elected there. There is no need to shift this problem onto the shoulders of Russia at the expense of its citizens.

Now I work as an engineer at the FIRST School of the Olympic Reserve in Moscow. Our school graduated from Kabaeva, Khorkina and more than 50 Olympic champions. Zp 60 tyr. In the Khovrino fitness club, the janitor and cleaners earn so much. But I provide the material and technical base for the training of Olympic champions, including in artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. I have been studying to be a highly qualified engineer for 30 years. He spent 200 Baku rubles on his education.
In 2010, Russian President DAM said: Without engineers, our country has no future.
Since then, nothing has been done for engineers in the country. Why does our country need a future? We have such a unique past.
Happy New Year, everyone!!! Work brothers!!! I will also work: to prepare future Olympic champions.
On Thursday I was cleaning the snow on the roof, slipped, fell, hit my head, a slight concussion. In a week I’ll climb the roof again: I need to ensure the safety of the children.

Moscow is sucking people out of Russia. will it not turn out that with the restriction of the influx of migrants, the MKDADye will simply become empty. in our open spaces, this cannot be allowed. no one lives in the Far East with its vast areas.

Most likely, a combination of measures is needed here. along with the restriction of migration (and it is naturally needed, but not a complete ban), it is necessary to stop the stupid growth of Moscow ... 30 million people are absolutely not needed in Moscow, it does not produce anything useful for such a huge number of people. and the practice of shifting paperwork when oil and gas is produced in other regions should be stopped. people in Khanty-Mansiysk or Nyagan can also transfer pieces of paper.

no matter how offended anyone is, Moscow under Sobyanin is actively turning into a parasite city that has practically finished off the production base (they already manage to build houses even on the site of dairy and fat plants), but at the same time continues to absorb people into itself, building stupid man-hills

[Machito]

I, as a native Muscovite (ancestors lived in Moscow under the tsar), support you. Moscow is non-rubber, it will not accommodate all Russians. It is necessary to develop other regions, making them attractive for living. Production in Moscow was almost completely eliminated. It's good that not all defense plants were demolished. The demolished factories were replaced with houses. Under the USSR, Moscow was the country's largest industrial center. And now there are no factories, and the city is growing at a monstrous pace. Why do they do it?

[Ilgizl]

The sound opinion of a native inhabitant of the capital and who should be in the ears. The regions close to Moscow directly say that everyone is dumped in the capital, I drove partly around and personally talked with many.

[Machito]

We need a high-speed railway line to China, along with a highway, gas, oil, water, and electric resources pipelines and settlements along the road. We need to invest money in the people so that there is someone to protect the Motherland and its resources.

So all high-ranking officials, generals, etc., aspire to Moscow, for seniority, or continue to serve, only in Moscow, together with their families. Ordinary people go precisely from poverty to a higher standard of living, infrastructure and opportunities in Moscow, and if they are restricted from moving, then maybe it’s worth starting with those same officials and generals first? If you close Moscow from the influx of Russians from other regions, then this will entail a lot of serious problems, well, or it may. First, this is the migration of Russians, if not to Moscow, then abroad, because, as I wrote above, people are trying to feed and clothe their families, and not to look at the Kremlin and VDNKh. The second problem will be more serious, any quotas or even a ban on moving to Moscow can anger already angry Russians with Moscow even more, up to separatism, because some regions already consider themselves 2nd grade due to funding on a residual basis, and now even they will close the door in front of their noses. So that people do not ride for better salaries, the Russian Federation should become a federation, as the name says, and not centrally steer everything. A huge country, under 2 hundred peoples, someday here and there without any "color revolutions" the regions will get tired of feeding Moscow, especially when the belts are already too tightened. In my humble opinion, Russia should follow the example of Switzerland with its cantons, or the FRG, but the FRG is more centralized than Switzerland. Regions must compete for investors, for skilled workers, be able to adjust taxes themselves, social programs, make regions more attractive for people and business, and all regions must give to the center, say, 10% of the budget that goes to the defense industry, space, science and others public things.

. it is enough to cite the statistics of the labor market of the Russian Federation, where the last 20 years there has been a process of replacement part of the population of working age for immigrants

Instead of raising the wages of the people and increasing the level of automation of production, our capitalists prefer to import cheap labor. The country is doomed to be with low wages because that's what everyone is doing.

Capital is indifferent to the replacement of native ethnos by emigrants - for it the concept of Motherland does not exist. Only profit.
Idle talk about patriotism exclusively in favor of the poor. Gentlemen, as a rule, with dual citizenship. And here they keep only money.

[seregatara1969]

And what did the deputies (they are also employers) do to equalize the competitiveness of a domestic worker and a labor migrant? For an illiterate worker, you do not need to pay taxes and sick leave, vacation pay and comply with the labor code!

[Nikolay310]

Who told you that you don't have to pay taxes? on the contrary, taxes from a non-resident are paid at a rate of 30%, and not 13, as from a citizen of the Russian Federation ... it’s just another matter that entrepreneurs themselves do not comply with laws and the Labor Code ... but numerous authorities should deal with this ...

[evgen1221]

Plus, a mess with their workforce, in terms of confirming the declared qualifications of the salary and actual skills.

[Stas157]

The importation of migrants is tactically convenient. How does it solve the problem of extinction of the population. There is no need to stimulate the birth rate. And there is always an affordable cheap labor market.

But the mass importation of migrant workers is failure at the strategic level. Ethnic substitution. Low wages. This is also a small capacity of the domestic market. Low purchasing power of the population. Export from the country of our money (currency) earned by migrants. Finally, cheap manual labor interferes with the automation and robotization of production.

There are more minuses than pluses from the importation of cheap foreign labor force. But this is if you think about the prospects of the country and the people as a whole. And at the top we are used to thinking first about our own pockets and well-being ... the country is great and will somehow survive.

I think that Khusnullin and his accomplice Sobyanin do not agree with your opinion ...
As it is said in one series - "This is our cow! And only we milk it ...." (c).
Moscow is not Russia...

[Nikolay310]

if migrants are needed (and they are most likely needed, because we have very few people in our vast territory, and even Moscow is swelling for no reason), then the policy in this area must be changed. for example, people who know Russian at a decent level should work here. Moreover, language learning should be a problem for those countries, not Russia. Do you want the transfers to your country to be saved??? if you please, 9 classes to train people.

secondly, we must stop bringing in crowds of men who live in bestial conditions and naturally stray into flocks in the end ... let couples come, employers will be required to provide them with housing. then the businessmen themselves will think about whether they need migrants, and there will be less social tension, because after work men will go home to their wife, and not in search of a victim of sexual violence.

and thirdly, the law enforcement agencies of Kolokoltsev, Zolotov, the Federal Tax Service should WORK ... and not portray

There is not enough of our "people", let's bring in someone else's?

Or maybe it is better to raise the birth rate? Stimulate. And then we have a shortage of kindergartens and schools. Lack of children's doctors and hospitals. Paid circles and sections. Overhead mortgage. Low salaries of the population... How strange that our families refuse to give birth!

Stas, you are a fighter for the past, and our past is the USSR! Until recently, we all lived in one big country! What kind of strangers are we to each other? Somehow your judgment intersects with "Divide and rule."

Moscow is a donor region, and one of the top five. Everything else is emotion.

[Ilgizl]

It is not difficult to be a donor when more than two-thirds of the country's budget flows there.

[Stas157]

Moscow donor region

This donor simply cannot feed itself without the rest of Russia. This is a soap bubble, like a futures contract - a donor only on paper.

Donor ... yes, we have a billionaire Usmanov as a donor! He gives a lot to charity! One question. Where did the former criminal (in the USSR) get billions from?

[isv000]

Our relations will reach a new level as we finish casting out demons on the outskirts. A lot of questions have accumulated for the former, they are very grumpy ...
