Migration is not in Russian: the ninth wave
Not with you, but with us
For several years now, journalists and political scientists have been talking about the migration crisis in Europe in our media. But the essence of these conversations is the same: “In Europe, Horror, Horror and Horror! A lot of people with a different culture have arrived and are unwilling to adapt to life in the new conditions.”
So they don't learn the language, they keep their customs, they commit crimes, and moreover, they make the Europeans dance to their tune. The news footage shows us crowds of migrants on the streets of Berlin, Paris, Brussels. But at the same time, no one talks about the migration crisis in Russia.
Let's just compare the numbers of migrants here and there. In the EU, Eurostat and the OECD counted 1,3 million migrants, while about 447 million people live in the EU. Figures for Russia: 147 million people live, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in January-September 2022, 12,78 million migrants arrived in the Russian Federation.
Not too much? No, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin said that it is planned to attract about 2024 million migrants to Russian construction sites by 5. Well, where is the situation more difficult now and will it be in the future? But our media do not tell us much about the problems associated with migrants. Why? Oh, because we have no problems! Let's try to figure it out.
There wasn't even a word in the beginning
After the collapse of the USSR, Russia faced the problem of mass immigration for the first time. Remaining at the level of the mid-1980s. (about 800 thousand people per year), the flow of many thousands to Russia through the borders of the newly independent states had reasons that were fundamentally different from the reasons for moving to the RSFSR within the framework of one state.
It was the flight of Russians and Russian-speaking citizens from the "parade of sovereignties" and the beginning of the genocide of Russians in some national republics. After all, at the end of its rule, the CPSU paid no attention to either the growth of nationalism or religious extremism in the countries of Central Asia.
As a result, violent pogroms took place in a wave, for example, in Dushanbe. The peak came in February 1990. Dmitry Rogozin wrote about this in the book "Enemy of the People":
These stories, about which Russian television is stubbornly silent "in order to avoid inciting ethnic hatred", and today you will not be able to hear from the miraculously surviving Russian refugees. And if someone remembers the pogroms of that time, he will immediately receive an accusation of fascism in response!
Moreover, no one conducted any not only a police investigation, but even a sociological survey, and therefore the former radicals and even murderers have been quietly coming to Russia all these years.
They are compatriots!
It is interesting that a compatriot for Russia is any citizen of a collapsed empire, even if neither he nor his ancestors lived in the RSFSR. And they have nothing to do with Russians or other residents of Russia. There are no and cannot be ethnic reasons here - the USSR was too multinational.
According to our officials, the experience of repatriation of such mono-ethnic states as Germany, Israel, Greece, and even the experience of Kazakhstan cannot be applied to modern Russia. If Israeli citizenship can be obtained by: only Jews, children of Jews, grandchildren of Jews, spouses of Jews, widows and widowers of Jews ..., then in Russia a Tajik, a Kyrgyz, an Uzbek, and a Kazakh can easily become a citizen ...
In the summer of 2010, the State Duma of the Russian Federation clarified the concept of "compatriot". In the new version of the law, compatriots included citizens of the Russian Federation permanently residing abroad, as well as persons residing outside the Russian Federation who made a free choice in favor of spiritual and cultural ties with Russia.
It was proposed to put the principle of self-identification as the basis for recognizing belonging to compatriots of persons who are not citizens of the Russian Federation. Like this. Residents of Asia, welcome to Russia... for citizenship. But it is much more difficult for a Russian who has returned from abroad to obtain citizenship. Why?
I will answer directly. Well, firstly, ethnic diasporas actively help migrants who want to become a citizen of the Russian Federation. Secondly, our bureaucracy is the best in the world! According to Konstantin Zatulin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, problems with obtaining citizenship arise due to the substitution of concepts:
Deputy Zatulin notes that people often face difficulties due to the requirement to renounce the citizenship of another country:
We move according to the program
The program to assist voluntary resettlement to the Russian Federation of compatriots living abroad was adopted by decree of the President of the Russian Federation on June 22, 2006. On September 14, 2012, Putin signed a decree containing a new version of the program and making it unlimited.
Settlers were entitled to a number of benefits: for example, they were allowed to import their property duty-free, the costs of travel and baggage were reimbursed (one five-ton container for three family members, more than three family members - two five-ton containers), and one passenger car could also be imported without paying customs duty. Later, the "lifting" for moving was increased from 120 thousand to 240 thousand rubles for the applicant and up to 120 thousand rubles for each member of the family of immigrants.
But in fact, this program, alas, failed. Interestingly, it was written for the repatriation of Russians who remained on the territory of the new states after the collapse of the Union, but it was actively used by residents of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. In these republics, offices were even opened that dealt with the registration of resettlement.
Here is the opinion on the reasons for the failure of the program of the head of the regional FMS of Kostroma, Alexander Shainov:
In fact, according to Shainov, the Kostroma region was used only as a platform for the naturalization of foreigners. Having received in an expedited manner the citizenship of the Russian Federation and material payments, the migrants left for other, more prosperous regions - Moscow, Yaroslavl, Ivanovo and Nizhny Novgorod, where there were no such programs.
But the Kaluga region in February 2022 itself withdrew from the resettlement program for compatriots. It will not be developed for the period from 2022 to 2027. The program was in effect for 14 years, it was possible to enter the country under a simplified scheme. In the early years, the proportion of Slavs among visitors was more than 80 percent.
— noted in the message of the Governor of the region Vladislav Shapsha.
Shapsha also said in his official Telegram channel that he drove into the regional migration center without warning and met a visitor who did not understand Russian at all. At the same time, he had a certificate of knowledge of the language.
Shapsha said.
Shapsha also signed a decree limiting the areas in which migrants can work. According to the document, foreigners cannot work in retail trade, public catering. Including cannot deliver products and work in bars. Also, migrants are prohibited from working in public transport, including taxis, and in recruitment agencies. Organizations in the region were given three months to replace migrants with Russian citizens.
Their morals
The decision was not spontaneous. The fact is that in December 2021, a high-profile incident occurred in Obninsk: in one of the schools in the science city, two teenage migrants attempted to sexually harass a fourth-grade student. It also became known that several students terrorized the entire school. They took knives with them to study and even threatened teachers with them. Further more.
It turned out that Obninsk, the first Russian science city, has gradually turned into a migrant place: in a city with a population of about 120 people, almost a third are visitors from Central Asia. The wave of migration, fed from the budget, has led to a load that not only schools cannot cope with - the entire social infrastructure of the city is overloaded.
Migrants easily obtained and even bought citizenship without knowing Russian, and then used generous state programs to the envy of the locals. The media wrote that citizenship cost 200 thousand rubles. So the governor could not react to the situation!
As we can see, in the Kaluga region (and not only in it) there was an ethno-demographic replacement of the indigenous population. Ethno-demographic replacement is a UN term. It does not carry any moral or political overtones. It denotes a simple fact: the indigenous almost never give birth, and the non-indigenous come more and more.
In fact, this is a slow displacement of the indigenous population. The simplest example - In Russia, the presence of non-indigenous people in the trading system is becoming more and more obvious. We also have a growing number of former migrants in the structures of administrative power at all levels of government and even within law enforcement agencies. That is, the replacement of the population occurs in the administrative sector.
Remember the scandal that erupted in 2018, when Parviz Tukhtasunov, a native of Tajikistan, headed the Federal Cadastral Chamber of the Russian Federation. The order on his appointment was signed by the head of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Oreshkin. Interestingly, before his appointment, Parviz worked as a nurse for two years, and from 2008 to 2016 he did not work at all.
But after publications in the media and social networks, Rosreestr began to edit Tukhtasunov's biography. The department began to insist that Parviz was not unemployed, but "held various positions in commercial structures". That's what career advances are like.
What's in the mirror of statistics
The number of crimes in Russia committed by foreign citizens over the 11 months of 2022 increased by almost 10% compared to the year before. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the growth rate of crime has become the largest over the past 5 years.
— stated in the materials of the department.
So, only citizens from the CIS countries committed about 30,4 thousand crimes. This is 15,2% more than a year earlier. Earlier, Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev said that an increase in the number of criminal manifestations among foreigners was recorded in the country. Almost 80% of the increase in the share of crimes are related to the sphere of drug trafficking.
At the same time, migrants who were deported for offenses later received amnesty. For example, in the fall of 2021, it became known that XNUMX migrants expelled from the country received an amnesty and could return to Russia. Citizens of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan fell under the amnesty. There were similar amnesties for citizens of Moldova and Kyrgyzstan. They also carried out an amnesty for those who were stuck in Russia after the start of the coronavirus pandemic, overstayed their documents and could not leave for their homeland.
In February last year, Moscow and Dushanbe reached an agreement according to which more than 120 Tajik labor migrants will be able to enter Russia. We are talking about citizens who were banned from entering Russia in 2021. The list includes persons who committed violations of the law. At the same time, there are no persons on the list who were banned from entering the country by Russian courts. That is - "everything is fine, beautiful marquise"?
According to the Central Bank, in 2019, individuals sent almost $13 billion in money transfers to neighboring countries. Is it a lot or a little? So that's something to compare. Money transfers from Russia to neighboring countries in 2022 increased by 300-500%. They reached record volumes for the entire time that the Central Banks of other countries keep statistics, that is, from 2004-2014.
This was calculated by RBC based on data from the central banks of Kazakhstan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. For example, in 2022 almost $800 million was sent to Kazakhstan, and about $2021 billion to Georgia. This is five times more than in 11. The volume of transfers from Russia to Armenia quadrupled over XNUMX months of last year and exceeded $XNUMX billion.
Not bad to replenish the budgets of their republics! But, as you know, if it arrived somewhere, it means that it left somewhere. Well, "Russia is a generous soul!"
From Bobokulova to a fight in a Chelyabinsk school
Remember the crazy nanny from Uzbekistan, Gulchekhra Bobokulova, who cut off the head of a little disabled girl, set fire to the apartment and went to the subway, waving her child's head to the cries of "Allah Akbar." Then the court recognized the nurse as suffering from schizophrenia and sent her for compulsory treatment, after which Bobokulova was simply expelled from Russia.
And already on February 8 of this year, there was a fight between teenagers in a school in Chelyabinsk, which the media, for a start, filed as an ordinary “shooter” between two youth gangs. However, the roots of the conflict are much deeper and more serious - the members of the attacking group were Russians, and their opponents belong to various southern peoples.
The conflict took on the features of an inter-ethnic one, and some immediately started talking about the manifestation of Russian xenophobia and the return of skinheads. But then unsightly details began to emerge that cast the case in a different light.
So, the “victim” of the brawl, Feruz, his friend Zinatuloh and his comrades, terrorized younger schoolchildren for about five years: they took away their money and phones, beat them, and usually attacked one in a crowd. The girls who were molested by the young scoundrels also suffered.
Moreover, there are suspicions that the hooligans are "patronized" by some local organized criminal group, possibly ethnic. In any case, the “recruitment” into the youth gang, consisting of several dozen people, was carried out on the principle of “non-Russianness”. Its backbone is made up of natives of the countries of Central Asia and immigrants from the Transcaucasus.
In other words,
- summarized the publicist Yegor Kholmogorov.
The well-known blogger Sergey Kolyasnikov wrote:
It is interesting that a wave of support for Russian guys from Chelyabinsk went through Russia. People from different cities and time zones demand an objective investigation into the activities of ethnic criminals. Apparently, here and there, the flaring up fights of the crowd of visitors with the locals have already crossed the line when everything that happened can be ignored.
In 1960, the poet Nikolai Rubtsov wrote:
Look again into your forests and valleys
From all sides they raced,
Other times Tatars and Mongols,
They carry a black cross on their flags,
They baptized the sky with crosses
And not the forests I see around
A forest of crosses in the vicinity of Russia.
I would only add that "other times the Tatars and Mongols" did not descend, but they were deliberately brought in. In whose interests?
