Regional migration policies in post-Soviet Russia: From pervasive control to insecure freedom.
Light, Matthew Aaron.

Regional migration policies in post-Soviet Russia: From pervasive control to insecure freedom. - 363 p.

Adviser: David R. Cameron.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Yale University, 2006.

The core of the dissertation, based on a year of field research in Russia, consists of case studies of migration policies in four Russian regions: Moscow city, Belgorod Oblast, Stavropol Krai, and Krasnodar Krai. While all four regions experienced substantial population growth from inward migration in the post-Soviet period, they displayed significant variation in regional policies, from strong support for migrants (Belgorod) to outright violence against them (Krasnodar), to intermediate cases marked by regions' reluctance to provide migrants (including Russian citizens) with required registration and immigration documents (Moscow and Stavropol). It is argued that regional policy outcomes result from several variables: the availability and funding of physical infrastructure and social services required by migrants in a given region, the region's exposure to the security problems and interethnic tensions generated by the conflict in Chechnya, and regional chief executives' conscious decision to engage in the symbolic manipulation of migration issues for political advantage.

520 # $a The core of the dissertation, based on a year of field research in Russia, consists of case studies of migration policies in four Russian regions: Moscow city, Belgorod Oblast, Stavropol Krai, and Krasnodar Krai. While all four regions experienced substantial population growth from inward migration in the post-Soviet period, they displayed significant variation in regional policies, from strong support for migrants (Belgorod) to outright violence against them (Krasnodar), to intermediate cases marked by regions' reluctance to provide migrants (including Russian citizens) with required registration and immigration documents (Moscow and Stavropol). It is argued that regional policy outcomes result from several variables: the availability and funding of physical infrastructure and social services required by migrants in a given region, the region's exposure to the security problems and interethnic tensions generated by the conflict in Chechnya, and regional chief executives' conscious decision to engage in the symbolic manipulation of migration issues for political advantage.
520 # $a The dissertation assesses the ways in which individual freedom of movement has evolved in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union and its pervasive system of restrictions on emigration, immigration, and internal migration. The Soviet system of mobility regulation been replaced in the Russian Federation by a one which, while in some ways more open, also contains the potential for more serious violations of individual rights. In particular, the main forum of conflict between the individual migrant and state authority is no longer the federal government, but rather the governments of Russia's constituent regions. These regions have now gained extensive power to promote or restrain immigration and even internal migration, and they exercise this power through both formal and informal means.
520 # $a The extensive variation in regional migration policies also depends on certain background conditions that have emerged in the course of the post-Soviet reshaping of the Russian state. This background includes inadequate federal funding of social services and the federal government's unwillingness to police serious violations of individual rights by regional governments. In turn, these result from the fiscal and security problems of the state and its reorientation toward controlling rents from natural resources.
