Krupnov: “A shadow state of migrants has been formed in the Russian Federation”
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Institute of Demography, Migration and Regional Development, Yuri Krupnov, stated this to Komsomolskaya Pravda, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Today it is already necessary to talk about a parallel shadow migrant state, which in many respects is comparable to the Russian state. Over the past 30 years, such a state has formed and matured. This is what we should proceed from when trying to understand the ongoing processes,” the expert said.
He argues that migrants are a highly organized community with its own strict hierarchy.
The publication’s interlocutor also calls the assertion that migrants accept any job with low wages a “myth,” clarifying that this is possible if you have just arrived in Russia.
“But in general, when a migrant becomes established in the main community and ethnodiaspora, his working conditions are at least no worse than those of the average Russian, and often much better, because well-organized diasporas occupy certain niches in the labor market,” says Krupnov. Considering migrants as lonely people parachuted into the taiga is complete stupidity.”
