๐ฅ๐ Migration and migrants are now widely perceived as risks.
In many countries, anti-migration sentiments and xenophobia had for long been on the rise. This spurred a securitisation of migration and the pandemic added concerns over health security to this already strong trend.
This is fuelled by the climate crisis which has already been raising doubts over the future of extensive driving, flying and traveling as is so typical for our hyper-mobile era; the pandemic further accelerated this trend.
Also the rise of authoritarian ruling had been noticed in many parts of the world and the pandemic only spurred this trend.
It is remarkable that liberal and authoritarian states around the globe alike turned to ultra-radical policy measures and largely outlawed fundamental liberties including the right to leave oneโs country, city or even home, at least temporarily, not seen since the exceptional times of martial law, the Chinese Hukou system or the Soviet era, writes Franck Dรผvell, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies, Osnabrรผck University.

๐ฆ๐ซ๐ท๐บ Is a large-scale influx of refugees from Afghanistan to Russia possible?
Russia has the image of a country that does not consider refugees to be a promising category for increasing the countryโs population, and the very procedure to first obtain official refugee status, and on the basis of this status gain citizenship in the Russian Federation, is quite difficult for Afghans, writes Valdai Club expert Dmitry Poletaev.

โ๏ธ๐ In 2021, the coronavirus pandemic continued to be one of the most important events.
Naturally, its influence on world politics and society remained the main focus of the Valdai Discussion Club experts.
In addition to the pandemic, the climate agenda has become the most important event of 2021. The COP-26 Summit in Glasgow in October-November was at the centre of global interest, sparking a heated debate in the world regarding the strategy and pace of green transformation.
A separate large topic of the Clubโs work was the impact of the pandemic on international migration, on the value and ethical perception of global migrants, and on the dynamics of migrant phobia in host societies.
The politics of historical memory in recent years has become one of the key topics in the expert work of the Club. Its analysis was continued this year as well.
๐ All these topics (the pandemic, climate and history) directly affect the evolution of values and moral norms in todayโs global society, writes Oleg Barabanov, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.

๐ ANNOUNCEMENT: On December 19 at 16:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host a discussion on migration issues. The discussion is timed to coincide with the International Migrants Day, which is celebrated annually on December 18.
Over the centuries, migrants have made a major contribution to the cultural, social and economic development of host countries. Today, more than 281 million people, almost 3.6% of the worldโs population, are involved in the processes of international migration. The international migration has a tremendous impact on demographic dynamics, labour markets and socio-economic processes in both receiving and sending countries.
Russia has recently become the centre of Eurasian migration. The Eurasian migration system has rapidly become one of the four largest in the world, along with those of North America, Western Europe, and Middle East.
โIs it fair to consider migration an unambiguously negative phenomenon?
โWhat are the mechanisms for protecting the rights of foreign workers in various host countries? How can they be improved?
โWhat migration problems does Russia face? How can they be solved?
These and other questions will be answered by the participants of the discussion, who include the authors of the Valdai Club report โThe Social Problems of International Migrantsโ.

Valdai Club to Discuss Migration Issues
On December 19 at 16:00 Moscow Time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host a discussion on migration issues. The discussion is timed to coincide with the International Migrants Day, which is celebrated annually on December 18.
๐ฅ๐ On December 18, the world commemorates International Migrants Day.
Over the past forty years, the share of international migrants in the world has grown from just over 2% to 3.6% and in absolute terms is equivalent to the population of a small European state.
Over this entire period, states have accumulated tremendous experience in terms of receiving foreigners from various walks of life. However, as practice shows, factors regularly arise that affect changes in the trends and intensity of migration flows.
Social problems are among the most difficult to solve; the report by Dmitry Poletaev and Andrey Korobkov โThe Social Problems of International Migrantsโ, is devoted to this subject.
Despite decades of positive experience in the reception and integration of migrants, which have been accumulated by modern states, migrants remain a socially vulnerable group.
From the exclusively social problems that are typical for all categories of citizens, we are returning to the issue of economics, namely, qualitative forecasting, writes Valdai Club expert Maria Apanovich.

๐ฅ๐ Behind the Glass Wall: The Problems of International Migration
On December 19, the Valdai Club hosted an expert discussion on topical issues of international migration. The discussion was timed to coincide with International Migrants Day, which is commemorated annually on December 18th. The moderator was Oleg Barabanov, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.
๐ฌ Dmitry Poletaev, leading researcher at the Institute for Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and director of the Center for Migration Studies, who co-authored the report โThe Social Problems of International Migrantsโ, pointed to the โglass wallsโ effect. According to him, migrants are present around us; we see them, but we don't hear them, and they don't hear us.
๐ฌ Andrey Korobkov,the second co-author of the report, professor of political science at the University of Tennessee (USA), noted the split of the migration flow into two unequal parts - the elite (โexpatsโ, educated migrants, investment migrants, students, academic migrants) and basic immigrants (low-skilled migrants, illegal immigrants, family members, refugees). In his opinion, it is also important that both research and public policy tend to view migration as a macroeconomic process in which the people themselves are โlostโ.
๐ฌ Rashid Alimov, professor of the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Taihe Institute (China), Secretary General of the SCO (2016โ2018), presented a view from Tajikistan. He stressed that Tajik migration to Russia has its own history, which has both dramatic chapters and wonderful stories. Both parties view labour migration as a mutually beneficial process.
๐ฌ Another view from the Global South was offered by Nurhan ElSheikh, professor of political science at Cairo University, a member of the Egyptian Council for International Affairs, who spoke about the positive and negative aspects of labour migration for Egypt as a migration โdonorโ. She considers compliance with the legislative framework in migration issues to be extremely important.
๐ฌ Maria Apanovich, associate Professor of the MGIMO Department of Demographic and Migration Policy, pointed out the importance of the gender aspects of migration. Gender imbalance in the labour market exists all over the world, and migrants, as the most vulnerable category of the population, are particularly affected by it.
๐ฌ Gulnara Gadzhimuradova, Associate Professor of the Department of Demographic and Migration Policy at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, pointed to the importance of selective migration mentioned by Korobkov against the backdrop of a tightening of migration policy. Countries are trying to attract only highly qualified migrants with the necessary specialties.

Behind the Glass Wall: The Problems of International Migration
On December 19, the Valdai Club hosted an expert discussion on topical issues of international migration. The discussion was timed to coincide with International Migrants Day, which is commemorated annually on December 18th.
๐๐ท๐บ Migration from African countries to Russia is still insignificant in scale and its main channel is educational migration.
In 2022, according to the official estimates of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, 38,885 Africans were legally staying in Russia. 34,360 Africans studied in Russia, the largest contingents are from:
๐ช๐ฌ Egypt (15,668 people)
๐ฒ๐ฆ Morocco (3,438 people)
๐ณ๐ฌ Nigeria (1,754 people)
๐ฉ๐ฟ Algeria (1,458 people)
๐ฟ๐ผ Zimbabwe (1,262 people)
Migrants from Africa who have settled in Russia and received Russian citizenship are hardly noticeable and are not even represented in the political arena.
At the same time, migration from Africa to the countries of the European Union, including undocumented migration, is permanent and sustainable. In the Eurasian migration system, however, where Russia is the main host country, the African vector is still almost invisible.
Russia is not yet connected with African countries via a full-fledged migration network. Nevertheless, the countries of Africa are witnessing explosive growth, despite the fact that we are only observing migration from those countries to Russia on a minimal scale. Because of the increasing competition for resources on this continent and growing risks of economic and political instability, forced migration flows from Africa to Russia may become a new component of the migration situation already in the medium term.
It is worthwhile to prepare for this in advance, writes Valdai Club expert Dmitry Poletaev.
