Immigration To Russia
Immigration to Russia involves foreign citizens (or people without any citizenship) seeking permanent residence in the territory of the Russian Federation. Historically, Russian empire was one of the World's leading destination for immigrants starting with the reign of Peter I in ca. 1700, and especially after the ascension of Catherine II to the Russian throne in 1762, until the October Revolution in 1917. Some regions, such as Novorossiya, Slavo-Serbia, Volga Germans' territory and Bessarabia were specifically designated for resettlement of immigrants. Immigration to Russia was relatively low during the Soviet period (1922–1991) and during early post-Soviet years (1992–2005).

To combat these demographic problems, the Russian government adopted in 2006 "Program for the return of compatriots to Russia", which was made ...
