Figure of the day: expulsion of migrants
By December 2024, more than 80 foreign citizens and stateless persons had been forcibly deported from Russia by court orders. Of these, 23 were from Moscow and the Moscow region, TASS reported, citing a source in the Federal Bailiff Service.
In 2023, this figure was almost half as much and amounted to 44,2 thousand. In 2022, it was 26,6 thousand.
In the summer, Alexander Bastrykin сообщилthat 10 thousand migrants who received Russian citizenship were sent to war with Ukraine.
In Russia in 2024, seriously tightened Migration regulations. New laws have complicated the lives and work of migrants, limiting their rights: the visa-free stay in Russia has been shortened, schools have banned the admission of children who do not speak Russian, and regions have banned foreigners from working in certain sectors.
