Modern Migration Flows in the Post-Soviet Space

Abstract

The subject of the study is the trends and prospects for the development of national migration flows in the post-Soviet space in modern conditions. The purpose of the paper is to identify the degree of stability of the migration flows that have formed in the post- Soviet space now under the influence of a series of unforeseen circumstances. The relevance of the study is due to the growing impact of unforeseen and massive natural and political phenomena on migration flows as the main drivers of cross-border mobility. The research methods are analysis, systematization, synthesis, and classification of the objects under study. The study attempts to assess the impact of the pandemic and recent political upheavals on the scale of migration to Russia. The author concludes that the current migration system within the CIS countries has demonstrated a high level of stability and resilience. The practical interest of the study is determined by the possibility of using the research data for the purposes of forecasting and planning the scale and structure of attracting foreign labor to Russia.
