Russian President's Decree "On Providing Humanitarian Aid to Individuals Embracing Traditional Russian Spiritual and Moral Values" Signed by Irina Volk One Year Ago
In the past year, the Russian Interior Ministry has been actively working to implement the provisions of the President's Decree titled "On providing humanitarian support to people who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values". This decree has led to an increase in applications for temporary residence permits, with over 1.8 thousand foreigners applying since its implementation.
The geographical distribution of these applications continues to be concentrated in major cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Moscow Region, and Krasnodar Territory. Moscow, in particular, has seen the largest number of applications with 594 submissions, followed by St. Petersburg (300), Moscow Region (186), and Krasnodar Territory (176).
The migrants who have applied for a temporary residence permit include various professionals such as entrepreneurs, agricultural workers, educational and cultural figures. Interestingly, the majority of foreign applicants for residence permits in Russia come primarily from Chechnya and the North Caucasus region. Over 90% of these applicants originate from these areas.
This decree has also created additional mechanisms for the resettlement of residents of non-CIS countries to Russia. While the specific number of decisions taken regarding these mechanisms was not specified, it is clear that the Russian government is making strides in facilitating the resettlement process.
It's worth noting that the decree does not specify any changes to the geographical distribution of temporary residence permits. Neither does it provide information on any specific incentives or benefits for migrants who have been granted a temporary residence permit. Additionally, the quota approved by the Russian government is not a factor in the consideration of applications for temporary residence permits.
An application for a temporary residence permit can be submitted both in Russia and abroad, to the diplomatic mission or consular institution of the Russian Federation in the applicant's country of residence. Moreover, applicants do not need to provide documents confirming their proficiency in the Russian language, knowledge of the history of Russia, or understanding of the basics of Russia's legislation.
As of now, 1.3 thousand relevant decisions have been taken regarding the temporary residence permits. The number of foreigners applying for a temporary residence permit continues to increase, indicating a growing interest in residing in Russia among non-CIS countries' residents. The Russian Interior Ministry continues to work diligently to facilitate this process and support those who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values.
