The North-West of Russia is a geostrategically significant
coastal territory of the Baltic Sea, the White and Barents Seas, which forms the
areas and centers of attraction of migrants. The demographic situation of the
Far East is influenced by three migration flows:intraregional, interregional
and external (with CIS countries and the countries far abroad). As an example
of the attractiveness of Russia in the regional context, migration processes in
Bashkiria are also examined.
