In the state Duma Committee on Affairs of nationalities are going to create a Subcommittee for the improvement of legislation in sphere of regulation of migration processes. This “Izvestia” said the head of Committee Ildar Gilmutdinov, stressing that the final decision can be made today.
According to him, the new structure will be engaged in the development of a special law for a more effective cultural and social adaptation of foreign nationals and their integration into Russian society. The document will be prepared in conjunction with the FADH.
— Today, when it is obvious the impact of migration on social mood and ethnic harmony, a DePuy corps it is important to take part in the discussion and work on the relevant bill. Tasks associated with maintaining inter-ethnic peace in terms of migration pressure, cannot remain secondary. Enough examples of ill-conceived and short-sighted migration policy presents us with Europe. We need to pay special attention to their own and others mistakes in this area in order to protect yourself from this social scourge, — said Ildar Gilmutdinov.

Will head the new structure, first Deputy Chairman of Committee on Affairs of nationalities Mikhail Starshinov (“United Russia”) has informed “news” in office of the Committee.
The transition of authority from the MIA to FADH
19 April in Stavropol after the exit meeting of security Council of Russia, the head of the FADH Igor Barinov said that the law on socio-cultural adaptation of migrants will be developed by the fall of 2017. Representatives FADH previously told “Izvestia” that the document is signed by the President by June this year. Until April 2016 issue of the Federal migration service, and after its elimination, these functions were assigned to the interior Ministry. Now responsible for the development and implementation of the draft law “On social and cultural adaptation and integration of migrants” will become FADH.
In the explanatory note to the decree of the President (at the disposal of “Izvestia”) stated that at present in Russia for various purposes is more than 10 million foreign citizens, of which 85.1 per cent are citizens of the CIS. This number will grow, and with it the risk of an increase in the number of conflicts on the basis of international relations, the document says.
Specialist in migration law Rustam Kasimov has declared “news” that we need a “full audit for compliance with the migration policy concept”.
For example, one law says that a patent gives the right to stay in Russia, the other says that you need to register. And the migrant does not understand he needs to register or not, — he stressed. — You also need to introduce the tools of adaptation of migrants. For example, free courses of the Russian language, which is now enjoyed. That the migrant did not buy a certificate of knowledge of the Russian language and took classes, passed exams and received a free patent. That is, you need to create motivation to ensure that the migrants wanted to learn Russian language and history of the country. Must be a powerful motivational campaign from leaflets at stations to advertising on TV.
The expert also added that the representatives of the employment service in those regions that are interested in the inflow of migrants must have their representatives at the local level (Tajikistan, Uzbekistan). After all, it is easier to test those who intend to go to Russia, for example, the presence in the criminal databases. Another motivational measure would be the systematization of tax deductions, for now, migrants often pay double tax — 13% on patent and the same employer may transfer their salary.
