There is no threat of population outflow to Russian Crimea; it would be nice to cope with the influx - Savelyev
Moscow - Simferopol, October 21 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Stamm) - Crimea is not in danger of an outflow of population to Russia after joining it, he said in an interview "Kommersant" Russian Minister for Crimean Affairs Oleg Savelyev. He doesn’t know Crimeans who moved to Moscow or St. Petersburg, but he knows enough people who want to “buy a house” in Crimea.

When asked how large the outflow of the population from Crimea could be in the next two years due to the fact that everyone has received Russian passports and can live anywhere, and Crimea is a paradise only in advertising brochures, Oleg Savelyev replied that, according to his feelings, this is the case exactly the opposite.
“Crimea is probably not a paradise, but it is a unique place,” says the minister. – I don’t know Crimeans who ran to look for a place in the Moscow region, Moscow or St. Petersburg. But I know a lot of people who ask: is it possible to buy a house there? How much does it cost?".
According to the minister, “even the situation with internally displaced persons from Ukraine shows that Crimea remains a point of attraction for the population.”
