russia Imports Labor, but Is Not Ready to Embrace People
Faced with a chronic labor shortage after restricting migration from Central Asia, russia is rapidly expanding its importation of people from remote and poorer countries, from India to Afghanistan.

In russia, official statements about “equal opportunities” and open career ladders are increasingly at odds with reality.
