Problems of Modern Russia
Now I will talk about main problems of modern Russia. As an epigraph I chose the words of Fyodor Tyutchev, who proclaimed that "the mind cannot understand Russia, not a common yardstick to measure: it is very special to be in - in Russia can only believe."
Migration problem.
Millions of immigrants arrive to Russia every year. And most of them stay here for really long time.
As we can see on the picture, appearance of the most of immigrats is not slavic.
In 2007, Russia adopted the 260,000 immigrants. “The top ten countries from which migrants are leaving: Ukraine (33 000), Kazakhstan (32 520), Uzbekistan (30 000), Kyrgyzstan (10, 000), Mongolia (9000), Arab countries (8500), Africa (7700), Turkmenistan (6000) and China (6000). For these countries are Iran (3500) and Iraq (3500), with Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, all of which were given 3,000 immigrants.” (Federal State Statistics Service 2013)
That’s why in 2013 Russia became the second country in number of immigrants (11 million people). Why all of them arrive to Russia?
Some of them are Russians who just wants to go home (Russians from Ukraine and Kazakhstan), but most of them leave their countries because of some problems in these countries. Usually it is unfavorable economic conditions in the country: inflation, mass unemployment, economic crisis, and here is a big gap in living standards between developed and developing countries, and therefore the population of developing countries is looking for a more comfortable living conditions for the improvement of the economic well-being, better-paying jobs and etc. Most researchers define as a crucial economic factor underlying drivers of migration flows. Sometimes it is ...

Has a great prospect for the Eurasian Economic Union - an economic union of the Common Economic Space: Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, which has to be established on 1 January 2015.
The dependence of the problems of each other
These problems are very much dependent on each other mapping. For example, the acute demographic situation in Russia is the lack of workers in the economic sphere. For the development of production, the government has to attract into the country from other countries. Well as economic issues affect the demographic situation, because if Russian families will have little money, they cannot hold a lot of children. Therefore, to solve these problems, we need to solve all these problems at once.
Historically, Russia has always been a country of perplexing dualities. The reality of Dual Russia, the separation of the official culture from that of the common people, persisted after the Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War. The Czarist Russia was at once modernized and backward: St. Petersburg and Moscow stood as the highly developed industrial centers of the country and two of the capitals of Europe, yet the overwhelming majority of the population were subsistent farms who lived on mir; French was the official language and the elites were highly literate, yet 82% of the populati...
As well as having different language, these people had different religions which include: 70% Christian Orthodox; 9% Roman Catholic; 11% Muslim; 4% Jewish. Virtually, the whole population of Russia was situated in the fertile land in the southwest. This meant that population density was very high and cities and towns were overcrowded. However, Russia’s low industrial output was not the only problem for the peasants and factory workers.

Russia in the 1930s By 1928, Stalin had ousted Trotsky and the rest of the Left opposition. In four years, Stalin had single handedly taken major steps away from Lenin’s collective leadership and free inter-party debate and replaced them with his autocratic dictatorship. Stalin began to secure predominant power over the communist party and the state by destroying passive opposition from the peasantry and former Lenin supporters. He won growing support from the working class, who were impressed with the initial five-year plan. It promised increased industrialization, which would lead to socialism in one country within their lifetime.

Firstly to justify why countries limit their immigrations, there should be knowledge of the different types of immigrants as there are different reasons to leave from one country and move into another. In the last 30 years, the number of international immigrants has been estimated 191 million worldwide, two times as before. As ...

The United States has been historically a country of immigrants. Since the first British settlers landed on the shores of the eastern United States in the 1600’s, there has been a strong and steady influx of immigrants to North America. They were driven by the promise of a new and better life for themselves and for their families. Over the last 400 years there have been successive waves of immigration that have risen and fallen over time. Historically most immigration has come from the European nations with waves coming to the United States by region and specific countries. In the 1800’s there was a mass migration of Irish, German, British, and French Immigrants. The largest group, the Irish, was escaping the Potato Famine that left Ireland in an awful state of poverty and famine. These groups sought a better life from the poor economic and social times of Europe and were lured to the United States by the hope of land, freedom, opportunity, and jobs. Later improvements in technology in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s led to lower transatlantic fares. Many Slavic people, Greeks, Hungarians, Poles and over 4 million European Jews came over during this time in search of a better quality life, better jobs, and more oppor...
Immigration has been the major source for America’s growth.The United States has the most immigrants in the world ("Nation of Immigrants"). Russia has the second most with only one fourth the number in America ("Nation of Immigrants"). The United States currently has over 40 million immigrants (Kirkwood). About 28 percent of immigrants in America are illegal (Kirkwood). Those 11 million illegals make up about 3.5 percent of the U.S. population (Kirkwood). This huge number grows every day as more and more people cross the border illegally.
Immigrants leave their countries in search for a better life and improvement of their situation. There is no singular reason for immigration; motivations range from better economic prospects to political safety. As of late, the number of immigrants living in the United States is an estimated 11 million. Those who immigrate are expected to contribute to the United States culturally, politically, and economically. Yet, full assimilation becomes difficult to achieve when the immigrant is made into “the other” by the country of reception.
Before the 1920’s Americans had an ‘open door’ policy and many people from around the world travelled there to fight poverty and experience the American dream. However, then America introduced two immigration laws in 1921 and 1924, which restricted immigrants from Southern, Central and Western European countries such as Italy and Russia. Fear of communism explains the changes in American policy toward immigration in the 1920’s to a certain extent. However factors such as Isolationism, Prejudice and Racism, Social Fears, the Effects of WW1 and Economic fears were also important. In 1917, the Russian revolution took place.
Among every other country in the world, the United States of America is where people feel the most comfortable place to come and live a better life. Immigrants are people who leave their counties to reside in other counties that are rich and safe to better themselves. Every year people immigrate to the USA for many reasons. Many people are having difficulty living in their native country such as over population, jobless which make the economy so hard. People from outside of the United States think there is peace, love, equality, free education, jobs, good food to stay healthy, but most importantly freedom of speech to express yourself in America. Today, I will only focus on some reasons why people in my country immigrates to America. This is

First of all, I want to explain what the immigrants are. By “Immigration Assist” website, Immigrants are people who have citizenship in one country; however, they go to another country to establish a permanent residence.
