 note = {In the 1990s, soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia faced the same demographic and economic challenges as most countries of Western Europe, such as declining fertility, an aging population and a structural demand for migrant labor. The influx of ethnic Russians from the post-Soviet successor states to their historical homeland was unable to satisfy the growing demand for labor. The present study attempts to examine increasingly diversified migration patterns in the post-Soviet space with a focus on new migration flows from the People’s Republic of China to Russia. At the present time the PRC along with countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) remains on the top of the list of countries, exporting labor force into Russia. Chinese migrants, as the one of the few available sources of labor, will continue to be an important factor in the development of certain regions of Russia and may fill many key niches in various industrial sectors in the near future. Although there is no consensus among Russia’s political elite over the process of Russia’s transition into a labor-importing country, an increasing number of Russian politicians and scholars have been calling for an immediate shift from restrictions on immigration to making efforts toward attracting foreign labor.},
