Central Asian republics as exporters of labor, brain drain
Business and Economics, Uzbekistan2 Comments
According to Russia’s Interfax Financial Market edition, among ten million foreigners, who migrate to Russia since January, 2011, citizens of Central Asian republics make up to 35 % of them.
Out of ten million migrants, there are 14 % Uzbeks, 10 % Kazakhs, 6,75 % Tajiks, 3,5 % Kyrgyz citizens, reported head of the Immigration control department of the FMS (Federal Migration Service) of Russia Alexander Zemskov.
Ukranians lead the list of migrants with 21,1 % shares.
Now in real numbers:
Uzbeks — 1,4 mln;
Kazakhs — 1 mln;
Tajiks — 675 thousands;
Kyrgyz — 350 thousands.
It should be emphasized that these are the numbers for this year’s newcommers only, exluding large Central Asian diaspora representatives already residing in Russia.
These numbers differ a lot from what official statistics lie when ideologically brainwashing people about sustainabile development.
Of course, this represents the situation of how the people of Central Asia see their future in more successfull colors in Russia than in their own countries. In fact, this also applies to not only a physical labor migration subjects.

this is what Karimov wants from his peale: force more or less talented and smart ones leave abroad and keep a control over those who can’t organize themselves against him. Russia wins from this exchange too: they get a cheap physical labor and keep better jobs for their own citizen. However, there are so many Russians who would love to have jobs labor migrants hold.
