MIGRATION FROM THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: PARTICULARITIES OF LABOUR ACTIVITY AND ADAPTATION TO THE LABOUR MARKET

Abstract

In the article, the author studies the issue of migration from the Republic of Moldova to the Russian Federation. Migration from Moldova to the Russian Federation decreased significantly in 2014, when the exchange rate of the MDL to the RUB decreased and the money earned in translation into MDL ceased to justify their efforts, which led to the fact that many citizens were forced to go to work in Europe. The largest number of Moldovan migrants in Russia work in such cities as Moscow, the Moscow Region, the Khanty- Mansi Autonomous Okrug and the Tyumen Region. This is because it is easier for Moldovans to find a job in these regions, and many of their relatives left for these regions and settled there after the collapse of the USSR. The migration of the population in Russia is irrevocable, since for migrants Russia becomes their homeland, they integrate and stay there to live.
