This arrangement is economically beneficial but exposes Russia to security risks. The fact that Friday night’s terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall venue in Moscow was committed by Tajik migrants has made some wonder whether it’s time for Russia to close its open border policy with Central Asia. Citizens of these countries can enter Russia without a visa for 90 days, where many of them then find employment in manual and/or low-skilled labor to satisfy their host country’s market needs. In return, their remittances keep their struggling countries afloat, thus averting their slide into failed states.
This is why I'm a paid subscriber. I had no idea about Russia's open border policy with those Central Asian countries, not to mention Russia's own migrant issues.
I'm 65 and learning new things is a good defense against becoming like Joe Biden. This helps. Please keep it up.
The truth of Patriarch Krill’s statement (“threaten interreligious and interethnic peace and harmony“) could realistically be extended to the “intrareligious and intraethnic” peace and harmony.
