OREANDA-NEWS Closed migrant enclaves may arise in some regions of Russia. The risks of their appearance were assessed by Deputy Secretary of the Security Council Alexander Grebenkin, RIA Novosti reports.
According to Grebenkin, a number of urban and rural settlements have become densely populated with mono-ethnic groups, who have been attracted to work mainly in the fields of trade, construction, catering, and agricultural activities.
"This creates additional risks of the emergence of stable closed enclaves, where Russian laws often do not actually apply, radical religious movements and antisocial attitudes are promoted. Unfortunately, this contributes to the emergence of social tension in these places," said the Deputy Secretary of the Security Council.
In his opinion, foreigners who are in Russia illegally are of particular concern — they have exceeded their legal stay or have not left the country after decisions on their administrative expulsion have been taken. At the moment, there are more than 670 thousand of them, according to statistics from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Grebenkin noted that in some cities, due to the "unbalanced concentration of migrants," there is a critical burden on social infrastructure, in particular, in the field of school education.
"In a number of educational institutions, the number of migrant children reaches 50 percent or more, many of whom do not know Russian, do not behave well, which negatively affects the educational process, and also creates the ground for public discontent and conflicts," he said.
Earlier, Mikhail Burda, Candidate of Political Sciences, Associate Professor at the RANEPA, proposed a way to combat migrant enclaves. In his opinion, Russia should gradually introduce restrictions on the work of visiting foreigners in certain industries, including services and trade.
