Legal status of refugees in the Russian Federation

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the evolving migration legislation in Russia, particularly in response to the refugee crisis. It highlights the necessity of distinguishing between refugees and labor migrants while simplifying legal residency processes. Research indicates that a significant majority of refugees have managed to legalize their status, with many obtaining temporary asylum or residence permits. However, confusion surrounding legal terminology and processes persists, leading to a low percentage of individuals securing official refugee status, attributed to a lack of understanding of Russian laws.
