ABSTRACT

The article notes that in the post-Soviet period, Russian migration has become mainly a component that counteracts the decline in the country's population, it is shown that an increase in the population of any state is possible not only as a result of reproduction and migration, but also as a result of the accession of other countries and populated territories to it, i.e. the process mechanical movement. The paper says that migration processes in the 90s of the twentieth century and in the first decades of the twenty-first century are largely determined by two circumstances: the nature of migration movements, which was steadily formed in the pre-revolutionary and Soviet periods of the existence of the Russian state, and the fact that in the internal resettlement for Russia, a huge scale belonged to the exchange of population with other parts of the common country, former Soviet republics. In the post-war 40 years of the existence of the USSR, at first Russia had a general migration loss, and then the country received about half a million people due to inter-republican migration. The collapse of the Soviet Union significantly changed all spheres of life in Russian society, including migration. As a result of the transformation of spatial movements, one type of population migration (internal) has turned into another type (international). This has significantly reduced the total volume of migration of the Russian population. Since the beginning of the 90s, migration has become a constant component that reduces the impact of depopulation on demographic dynamics. The article shows the ethnic migrations that have become significant: the arrival of the Russian population in Russia from the states of the new abroad and the emigration of Jews and Germans from the country, which has taken on a noticeable scale. The final part of the article shows the demographic situation in the Asian part of Russia, the population of which, despite the measures taken to accelerate the settlement of Siberia and the Far East, continues to decline.
