Gauging the Impact of DHS’ Proposed Public-Charge Rule on U. The Russian Federation appeared on the world map as an independent state at the end of 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The history of international migration in Russia did not begin with the breakup of the Soviet Union. Therefore, analysis of migration patterns in the Russian Federation, as in other former Soviet republics, should begin in earlier times, when they formed a single state. Many sociodemographic issues and ethnopolitical conflicts in former Soviet republics, as well as migration flows between them after the breakdown of the Soviet Union, are to a large extent the result of Soviet-era migration. The borders between the Soviet republics never acted as barriers to migration, fulfilling only an administrative function.
Soviet migration policy focused mainly on internal migration, for the purpose of redistributing the labor force. Migration between Russia and other Soviet republics during this period occurred in two stages. The first lasted from the beginning of the 1950s to the mid-1970s, when Russia lost 2. 7 million people to other Soviet republics. Migrants from Russia flowed to Ukraine and Belarus for postwar reconstruction and development, to the Baltic republics, to Kazakhstan for the development of fallow land, and to Central Asia to build newly industrialized economies.
