Abstract

The article analyzes the migration exchange of the population of Russia with other countries in the 2010s. There is a special focus on migration from the countries of the former USSR, which still constitutes the main migration to hinterland of Russia. Data from current records of migration and its comparison with data in All-Russian population censuses demonstrates the need for the correct use of these sources, especially in connection with the changes occurred in registration procedures in 2011 and a number of recent years. The present long-term Russian migration statistics, as before, does little to capture current geopolitical and socio-economic changes. The unprecedented decline in the country's migration growth in 2022 is associated with its "recounting" ("recalculation") in 2021. Geography of the key countries of origin is gradually changing in favor of relatively small countries in terms of population - Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The structural characteristics of migration flows reflect changes in migration directions, the needs of the labor market in Russia and the specifics of statistical accounting.
