Russia Wants Immigrants the World Doesn’t
While Europe and the U.S. tighten border controls, former Soviet states are encouraged by Moscow to send their workers.

On a brutally cold February day, hundreds of laborers from Uzbekistan mill around in the snow and mud of a construction site 10 miles outside Moscow. Surrounding them are a series of unfinished 18-story apartment blocks meant to serve as homes for Russian military officers.
Work has stopped because the men haven’t been paid in weeks. With nowhere to go, they stand around smoking and chatting at the vast project locals call Samolyot, Russian for “the plane,” after a nearby monument to World War II pilots. At night, they hole up in a nearby shantytown of corrugated steel cabins. There’s no shower, sink, or toilet—instead there’s a row of blue portable outhouses, each half-filled with stalagmites of frozen excrement. In the morning, the men shiver over a fire cooking carrot gruel and melting ice from a nearby stream to drink. Most are poorly dressed for the 10 degree weather—one laborer emerges with nothing on his feet but wool socks and flip-flops.
Work sites filled with immigrant laborers aren’t particularly novel in developed countries, and Russia is no exception. According to the UN, the nation has 11 million foreigners, many without visas and from largely Muslim, Central Asian countries. But as Europe’s refugee crisis continues to fuel a global resurgence of isolationism and xenophobia, in Russia—the world’s third-biggest destination for international immigrants—things are being handled a little differently.
A recent editorial in Nezavisimaya Gazeta was titled “Trump and Le Pen would be opposition in Russia.” Under President Vladimir Putin, the newspaper argues, being anti-immigration is the same as being anti-establishment. “Domestic TV blasts Europe for multiculturalism, for receiving refugees from Mideast and Africa, for tolerance to migrants,” its editors wrote. But in Russia, anti-immigrant stances are sometimes “characterized by the authorities as an unacceptable form of nationalism.”
The reality in Russia is that the immigrant economy is very much part of its recovery from a prolonged recession. And the government knows it.
“Russia is experiencing a huge deficit of workforce,” explains Andrey Movchan, director of the economic policy program at the Moscow Carnegie Center. “We badly need cheap labor that cannot be found inside the country.” Immigrants clean city streets and maintain huge residential buildings that dot the skyline. They play a key role in manufacturing, retail, and service sectors. In the restaurant industry, kitchen staff from countries like Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Georgia stay for years, sending most of their money home.
“If you take out the migrants, who comprise 15 percent of the Russian workforce, it will be impossible to replace them,” Movchan says, warning that the higher wages needed to attract Russian workers to such jobs would raise prices and hurt the recovery.
