Immigration to Russia - 20 mil annually
Did you know this? It's surprising to me...
From the Russian News & Information Agency:
"MOSCOW, March 15 (RIA Novosti) - Over 20 million people come to Russia every year as part of a post-Soviet 'migration boom', and half of them are in the country illegally, a senior Russian migration official said Wednesday.
'More than 20 million migrants annually come to Russia, mainly from former Soviet republics. Experts say about 10 million of them do so illegally,' Federal Migration service head Konstantin Romodanovsky told the State Duma, parliament's lower house."
