... employer is required to obtain confirmation from the exchange that no Russian citizens want this job. We believe this requirement is excessively onerous and opens up the door to corruption. Confirmation can be withheld to illicit a bribe. Reforming immigration policy is a long-term project, but Russia faces a more pressing problem – what about the immigrants who are already working in Russia illegally? This problem needs to be addressed without delay. No one knows the exact number of immigrants working in Russia, with estimates ranging ...
Should Russia introduce a visa regime for citizens of CIS countries? The problem of illegal migration in Russia has been exacerbated to a large extent by the mixed migration regime with CIS countries that combines both liberal and restrictive tools.

... what we need is a level of trust impossible in the absence of strategic rapprochement, in this case between Russia and the EU. However, there seems to be no alternative in the long term, since both sides are facing the same challenges, a key one being migration from the global South.
