In 2022, the indices of the registered migration growth in the population of Russia in the long-term international migration remained within the band of their usual values specific to the 2012–2019 period. Though arrivals from Russia’s most traditional migration donors decreased in 2022 as compared with the previous year, growth in arrivals from Tajikistan made up completely for this decline. The number of participants in the Russian compatriot resettlement program decreased by nearly 14,000, however, the number of issued primary residence permits and temporary stay permits increased by 54,000 permits.

Key words: migration, international migration, program for relocation of compatriots.
