Russia's new immigration policy to attract people from Moldova, Ukraine, Central Asia
Russia seeks to liberalize immigration policy, move could attract more Moldovans to work there
Igor Shuvalov, Russia's first deputy Prime Minister, said during a press conference yesterday that his country would like to liberalize immigration policy in 2010.
Mr. Shuvalov said that Russia seeks to attract more people from Moldova, Ukraine, and Central Asia.
A considerable number of Moldovans work in Russia, usually in construction. It is easier for Moldovan citizens to go East, because they do not need a visa for Russia whereas they do for European Union countries.
