After the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in November 1991, the Russian Federation faced a situation of massive migration to, across and out of the country, and became part of the global system of population movements. Bordering 16 countries, including 5 European Union, 5 Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and 8 other countries, the Russian Federation ranks among the top three immigration-receiving countries in the world, hosting 9.6 million foreigners in 2016. The majority of them are labour migrants from the CIS (Ministry of Interior of Russian Federation (MIA), 2016).
