The Political Diversity of the New Russian Migration since February 2022: Demographics, Attitudes, Dynamics over Time

Sun, November 23, 10:00 to 11:45am EST (10:00 to 11:45am EST), -

Session Submission Type: Panel

Brief Description

Russia’s full-scale of invasion of Ukraine prompted approximately 800,000 to 900,000 Russian citizens to leave their country. Two distinct waves of migration from Russia have been identified: the first in the spring and summer of 2022, the second after the announcement of a partial mobilisation in September 2022. A significant number of Russian migrants have since returned to Russia, while about 650,000 remain abroad. This migration is hard to capture systematically but the first large-scale quantitative and qualitative studies have highlighted its heterogeneous nature. This panel brings together established scholars, post-docs and graduate students working at the forefront of empirical data collection on the "new" Russian migrants, their attitudes and behaviours, including their mobility over time. The panel combines research based on new cross-sectional and panel survey data as well as comparative case studies on host countries (e.g. Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Lithuania, Kyrgyzstan et al.). A particular focus of the analysis presented is on the political attitudes, engagement and choices of the migrants.
